I think it comes down to different expectations.

V6 drivers are more likely to be looking for "fast enough to be fun."

V8 drivers are more likely to be looking for "faster than everything," even if they say they're not that unrealistic.

We chose a car that we KNOW is not the most powerful thing on four wheels. We turned down the option of buying 100 more horsepower. We knew that. We can accept it. When my buddy showed up at a wedding this past weekend driving a 2008 Z06, it didn't bother me because I was never trying to keep up with the Jones's.
