I agree with you, 'tsnow'. The death of the V8 has been heralded going all the way back to '80. Unless they're outlawed, a possibility given the politicization of energy and resources, the V8 remains a capable platform for the foreseeable future. Even if V8s went out-of-production, there are literally millions available to be rebuilt.
