I had a V8 - not a crazy fast one, but a decent one.
There are a number of reasons why I
don't want a V8 in my new camaro. Insurance costs is one. Price is another.
The biggest one? If I bought the LS3, I would do
this to it and probably hurt myself, or worse, wreck my baby (the camaro).
I know it seems weird, but I want about 400 HP, and not much more. I don't trust myself with more. 400 will make the car fast enough to really enjoy driving, even when I take it to the track, but not fast enough to where I'll be tempted to do something really stupid on public roads.
With the V6, I'll be able to do all the mods I want to do, and have the kind of power I want, and I think it'll sound good enough to where more people than I can count will say "thats a V6?"
And to scare the crap out of more than a few mustangs.
