I understand people's passion for V8s, but in truth, the real reasons seem to be nostalgia (i.e. that's what a muscle car is supposed to be), or the sound.
It's time to move on though, like all things, engines change and evolve - -otherwise we'd all be racing our carts around and travelling with steam-powered trains or boats!
Heck, look at the Porsche concept - they actually announced this week it will indeed be produced - the 918 I think it is: 3.2 s 0-60, and 3L/100km. Now, it will obviously be a while until this kind of performance hits the production level of our Camaros, but it's the way forward. Not to mention the sooner they start working on it, the sooner it'll happen!
My 2 cents...
