To direct this whole thing a little sideways the V6 is a far superior engine to the V8 in its technical achievement. It is an incredible engine and actually has more cool factor from an engineering standpoint. Direct injection allows an engine with 11.6:1 compression to run on 87 octane, just think about what that means. With the fuel being added at the end of the compression stroke just before combustion you could run any amount of boost you wanted without having to decrease compression the only limiting factor would be the strength of the internals. The V6 is an amazing performance engine especially if you upgrade the internals. But I digress I am still opting for the V8, it's just what I want but no one should say anything negative about the V6.
