I'm purchasing a new '23 Coupe there's one in Shadow Gray & the optional forged Silver wheels which i like & prefer, but has the V6, 1lt trim.

The other is Riverside Blue (with V8 LT1 which I prefer) and has the Carbon black wheels which i don't like (especially the wheels on the Blue),
all the other added options are either equal or acceptable on both.
So wanting a V8 this time and all my previous and current have had the V6 which is a nice motor, was looking to try the V8 this time around.

It basically comes down to the motor choice or color, i could always swap out the black wheels for the silver (at additional cost) and that's not cheap either.
I know its my ultimate decision just like to hear your thoughts or comments, the wifey is useless on this and find my self talking to the dog

V8 all day, all week long.

After all these V6s you had, trust these forums, no question you want the V8. You can thank us after the first drive.

A lot easier and less expensive to change wheels as compared to an engine. You are buying a muscle car for the muscle, and you feel the engine when you drive - can't see the wheels when cruising. V8 all day.

Thanks for the input, yes i agree the fun factor of the V8 and i am a veteran of the v6's, the color weighs in too that's what makes it tough decision.

Also just had an opportunity to talk with my neighbor who is a OTR truck driver home for this weekend and gave his opinion;
''When you walk up to the car parked or look at in your garage your seeing your fav color, it looks great, you get in and start the V6 and it's ok you don't know what your missing with the V8.
With the secondary color it's ok when you view it close or far then you start it and it sounds great, he continues, ''tough decision wish i had to make it''
and we laughed, his analogy's not much help but i asked for it. LOL.

This is a no-brainer since the LT1 has the RS and tech package.

In the long run it will make more power and be more reliable. And desirable should you need to sell it for personal reasons.

I would say keep looking and get the color you want with a V8 6speed.
