400 vs. 323 is a fairly big difference....not night and day but it will be noticeable. Additionally, the torque difference will punctuate the feel even more.

Aside from this, I typically would not trade down (in model year or trim) when going from a current car to a new car; If it were me I would be looking at either new or a one to two year old. No harm in trying it out though.

That v8 roar and throaty exhaust......its an elixir that warrants a buy or trade by itself!!

Great story; Good luck in your search.
