BUT! I miss the torque of a V8. The V6 just doesn't plant you in your seat the way a V8 does. It isn't violent acceleration. It's a more linear power application.

I have a supercharged big block Camaro with 18.5 wide Thompsons and I can't get traction on the street. The new ZL1 will probably run rings around it. But to your point my '69 has a violent aspect to it that smaller engines do not. That's the reason why I personally would choose the V8. The flip side to that is my twin turbo BMW. It's a different kind of fun. That car on the highway gets up like nobody's business.

My advice remains the same. If you liked the car when you ordered it and you don't now, you may be listening to voices in your head other than your own.

I always listen to the voices in my head but they keep telling me never to tell where I hid the bodies and so far that has worked. But that's another story.
