I'd suggest the 8. You'll get a lot of arguments for the 6 Mainly because misery loves company !! Your cash though-- Get whatever you want.

The LS3 makes over 400 hp and gets 16/27 MPG (or something similar) - that is crazy no matter whether it is high or low tech. On top of that, they are crazy reliable. I have put 200-300k miles across several LS motors and several different platforms and have NEVER had a motor issue (other than the stupid oil pump in my Camaro).
I agree...some of the v6 comments are copy and paste. Buy a v6....mod it to compete with a stock SS. Owner of the SS does basic bolt ons. End of debate.

Novel idea... drive both... buy what aligns with your lifestyle/needs/budget... live a happy life.

All the denigration back and forth is so f'ing stupid.

I'm certain I'm not the first member of this forum, nor elsewhere, to point out to you that a good number of your comments contain not only a condescending element, but are outright rude, which, inevitably, appears to project the mindset of a bonafide prick.

2013 LT convertible here in AZ & the V6 is plenty for me at 323HP. I upgraged from 08 Stang V6 coupe with 270HP. So I'm good. I'm 5' 10" and also have another ride too.

Since you have the Silverado, I'd go convertible, especially since you say the Vert possibility keeps biting you. Here's me in mine....top down.

I own 2 Camaro's 14 2ss and a 99 Z28 2kids, wife and yes I own my home! My wife and kids urged me to get the LS3! Don't get on here and judge! You drive a V6 good for you. Don't knock us V8 guys because we opted for the beastly V8
