I've got to be honest with myself. There's just no reasonable way for me to afford a V8 plus gas plus insurance as a 23-24-year-old buyer. Plus, with all my city driving, never owning a RWD car, and not having had a car over 200 hp, it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense for me to roll around in a 400 hp deathtrap. I'll be getting the performance V6, likely the RS. I'll go aftermarket for additional speed after I get used to the power. I bet I'm one of the few on this site okay with a V6.

One of the most mature young folks I have seen post in a LONG time. Good for you sir in knowing and acknowledging your limitations and the reasons for them. Personally if I was still in my early 20s I would (and did) do the same thing. I'm now closing on 30 myself and my insurance and career/money are going to allow me a V8, luckily I have some experience with RWD and 200+ HP in my parents vehicles back in the late 90's and know what to expect.
Again bravo and if we had more youngins like you insurance rates wouldn't be what they are.
Edit-PS don't feel left out on the V6 thing. If circumstances where different for me(or do fall out) and I can't get a V8, I will just get a V6. V6 isn't necessarily bad, but as mostly enthusiasts the members here are after the HP and performance max.
