[nateholtrop]

Simple yes/no question. So do you?

Nate

[Demon-Xanth]

Yes. That's why I ordered it that way

 

[hanoverphist]

ill drink V8 anywhere, not just in my car... =P


seriously, i prefer a V8 but some cars just dont need it. in my truck? hell yes. its not a truck without it IMO

 

[MyThirdEye]

Seeing as my Monte Carlo SS has been in the shop, I have been driving my parents Mustang GT, and I prefer the V6.

 

[MyThirdEye]

Wrong forum?

 

[Capt Caveman]

I should have had a V8!!!

 

[OdiN]

Mine is a V6 - plenty speedy and good mileage.

 

[Captante]

Of course I'd prefer my daily driver to have a big V-8 under the hood ... provided sombody else pays for the gas!

Trucks only need six, but they need to be the right six

Nope. I'd be perfectly happy with a 1.8l, naturally aspirated, 4 cylinder engine in a car that weighs 1900lbs.

Edit-Oops, it's a 1.8l engine.

I'm pretty sure the V8 in the Monte is a piece of crap, as far as V8s go.

I didn't mention it by name though.

 

[Gooberlx2]

No, but then I don't drive something that needs it.

Since he didn't specify, I'll just have to assume he would also be fine with a 2.0L engine in a 1973 Super Beetle

 

[Zenmervolt]

What kind of car?

Muscle car? Absolutely.

Sportscar? Give me a smaller turbocharged engine. (Ideally a turbocharged, air-cooled, flat-6 hung out behind the rear axle...)

they are indeed nice cars.

me? My Dakota is v6, but I bought it used that way and it does the trick. However, I want the Dodge Challenger that is coming out next year. My plan? Get the SRT model that will come with the obvious 6.0+L V8, and get it used about 2 or 3 years after that model is released. Plus, if all goes to plan, I'll have been shipped out somewhere and won't have any use for it till I'm home anyhow.
