I am sure the V-8 gives lots of grins to the driver and I guess thats what its all about.
You should see the rabbid fights on rhe RX-7 boards with all the V-8 swappers years ago.
I guess I just do not understand it. What draws me to the Porsche 911 is the total package the unique flat 6, the sound it makes the way it handles.
Same goes for the RX-7 the pistonless engine the sound it makes how unique it is.
Not my cup of tea but I totally understand it.
Like I have room to talk with my hotrod 3.6.
