You don't like how V8's drive? :/
one person might like the v8 drive but another wont its called personal choice.
Compulsive.
You may have overlooked the question mark in DM's post, therefore making it a question not a criticism. Your sarcasm is void..
There is no such thing as stupid questions, Only stupid people.
living the low life
some might like NOS and some might not, moot point.
it was a question, as in can you explain to me what things about driving a V8 dont you like?
hence the personal choice.
He has already stated that he does not like the drive and has had problems with the v8.
Read the thread.
i dont see why he should explain him self to you?
its his personal choice.
Answer the question.

car looks mean mate! a color coded ss kit would set it off
Bends spacetime
He said the SS is possibly awaiting an LS1 swap so maybe he just didn't like the 5ltr?
haha, it's all good guys. The thing is i don't really know how to explain it. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against V8's they're just not for me. Whenever i gave the ss a boot full it always felt like it was revving way above it's capabilities. (It wasn't, and in reality it revved just as high as the v6 but the v6 is happier to be doing it.) The power/torque delivery from the v8 also didn't suit my driving style. i like to have a long smooth climbing power curve, where as the ss would kick you in the guts and then run away violently.
I dunno, Bottom line is I am happy with my 6 banger now and these days with places like mace actually bringing out parts for them decent power isn't that hard to get either, I love the simplicity of the v6's they are easy to work on and fit in anything. I also have a buick v6 in a toyota surf and a mitsubishi triton, both 4wd.
nice car man love the headlights
