You can aways have to much HP
BUT you can never have enough.

Unwise is subjective to the person. It is unwise to buy a V6 if you really want the V8. It is unwise to buy the V8 if you really only are wanting the car for the looks.

Btw..you get 88 more HP..and 132 ft lbs more of torque. Minimum. With the LS3 you get 114 more HP and 144 more ft lbs of torque.

Thats a huge jump, and why the V8's utterly kick the crap out of the V6's in power.

I saw a T-Shirt posted on this forum that showed a Smart Car on the back and a Camaro SS on the front. For me, it summed it up completely…

”You save the planet, I’ll save my dignity”.

Maybe you should get one for you friend.

I tell people my car is a carbon offset for Prius'

Nope...if the only thing people use it for is to race...they're going to enhance its performance anyway.

But I'm talking automatics so it's only 88hp and it can only kick the the crap out of it if I were racing which me and the OP don't do

heck i've got an XD-45 and a box of hydra-shoks that doesn't get used to it's full potential either...

NO it's not wrong- this is the USA, where you still retain the freedom to do as you please.

Bring your friend for a ride and use the car to it's FULL POTENTIAL.

TitoSS · 09-02-2010, 11:50 AM

Most people never even use the potential of their 4 cyl cars to its potential so by that argument we should all just stop driving all together.
