When then how come we have so many V-6 defectors?

And the mere fact that you have to make a point that you can beat a forty some year old hemi (because you know they are held to a high standard) shows that it does bother you at least a little.

Just be happy with the decisions that you make and don't worry about what other people think.

Oh and you are right about the 64 in a way. They never sold them to the public for street use ,but there were plenty running on the street. 66 was the first "street Hemi". But like I said, it makes no sense to compare the two vehicles. If you want to compare to those days compare apples to apples. How well did a 6 cylinder run in those days?
