Therefore, if you're going in a straight line, or in circles, the V8 is better.
OK, the truth, if I needed a daily driver, I'd get the 6, if I wanted a go-fast weekend hotrod, or just have gobs of money to spend, I'd get the 8.
I see your white text and call you on it - a lot of us want a fun-to-drive daily driver. With both the initial specs AND the response of this engine to simple bolt ons, this car looks to be one the best bang for the buck deals out there for that category. Sure, there are faster things, and some of them cheaper or about the same price, but as I've said before, most of them are FWD, and I've driven fast FWD cars before. They can't hold a candle in fun factor to a RWD car, even if the RWD car has less power. At least not in my honest opinion.

And, in a lot of ways I liked the smoothness of my Buick V6 better than the roughness of my Camaro V8, and wished that my Camaro drove as smooth as the V6 while still pulling like it did when I got on it. This engine seems to be a good combination of the two.
