Wow there's a lot of posts in here... You all may wonder why I read the V6 columns... I would prefer a V6 myself for the fuel economy but stock, the v8 is much more potent, anyhow I just thought I'd put in my two cents about friends who diss new cars... I used to drive a Honda civic wagon, then I went to a CRX and my friend (who doesn't have a car) says well it only has two seats and it's a little slow (10 sec 0-60)... so then I bought my V8 firebird and he says "well I would have bought a porsche or a miata" two cars completely out of the price range I was looking at... ($2000) I really could care less and if you can make your car kick *** that's all that's important... If you want to have fun, swap in a 3.4L V6 with turbo and have some fun with your friend... newer v6 camaro engines are just as potent as late 80's v8's so that would in fact make your car much more competitive...
