Bottom line, if power is what you want, it would be dumb to supercharge a V6 instead of just going with a V8.
(And I own a V6 so I am not promoting SS's at all...just common sense)
I agree, get the SS for performance, I wanted a reliable daily driver that was economical. And the last vehicle I modded, a Mustang with a Vortech, my rates went up 25 bucks a year when I added it to the policy.
