Don't think i'd call it a stigma, but once you are comfortable with an engine size, it is harder to downsize too an engine that appears to be less engine. All " muscle cars" were v8's for a long time and v6's just couldn't get the power of an v8. But, today's v6's can run with older v8's for horsepower with no issues. I know for a fact this new v6 Camaro , would destroy my 91 RS with the 5.0 l v8 it had, no way did it have 300 horsepower. Personally, I love the sound of a finely tuned v8, but if the budget says v6 Camaro, I'll still be smiling, cruising happily in a v6.
