GOD has spoken and actually told us something straight out! Thank you and thank you for making 10mph increments. It's one of the things about my Legacy GT that has always bothered me.
Thanks Scott...from the heart |

It seems that the V6 shocker is that it was probably incredibly fast for a V6, but this doesn't mean it would keep up with the V8. I'm sure the V6 will dominate the entry level cars, and I'm sure the V8 will dominate the high end cars. Another thing you have to think about was that they were only allowed to drive auto V8's and a V6 manual. I think I would take a V6 manual over a V8 auto any day. I just can't wait to see what the manual V8 is like. It seems right now the attention is being drawn to the V6, but I wonder what it would have been like if they drove a manual V8. I'm sure they would want to draw attention to the V6 as well, because a lot of people want a fast, good-looking car for as little money as possible. And with gas prices and insurance, I'm sure it will draw a lot of customers. For me, I'm getting the V8, but if millions buy the V6, I will be as happy as can be. Keeping the car alive and striving is a very important thing for everyone.

And I'm extremely happy to hear that the speedometer and tachs will be changed a little bit still, along with the stereo. It's a bit bulky, and the buttons are too big. I personally would love a navigation screen, just because I have one now and love it. Plus you could also say I'm about flash along with the raw beauty and performance, even if it costs a few extra bucks. I would definitely be willing to get a nav screen if it were an option.

Good analogy. Not to mention that the V8 engine will last longer than the V6 as well if you plan on keeping the car for along time.. However you did forget in the cost above the price of insurance being higher as well, and there may be a gas guzzler tax.... |

Nope, he said exactly right....fbodfather has a way of being cryptic (which is the most we can ask from him considering what we're discussing around here!), so to actually get a "this is what we are doing" kind of answer is overwhelming.

The Fbod's answer was quite shocking to be honest. Do a post search on him and read alot of his posts...... you'll see. Someone might ask him "what size tires will be on the V8" and his reply would be something along the lines of "well, I can tell you for a fact they will be round".

Searching for the truth

I think my only real question is do we know if there will be hide-a-way headlights????
Cant wait for some new interior pics of something other then the mule. Oh and I would place my bet that the other color was Hugger Orange. |
