Why have a v6 modification forum if there is no point in modifying a v6.
there is a point to modifying a v6:
some people just want to do it. and thats fine. thats why this section is here. JC is full of people who have 'been there, done that' and they can guide a new user through the whole process to save them dollars, head fks with problems and (best of all) legalities.
i myself have spent spastic amounts modifying stupid valueless cars, just cos' i could. but when someone asks a SPECIFIC QUESTION: i.e. which is better? modifying a V6 or fitting a V8, then the answer is clear and has been given a number of times "dollar for dollar, it is better to fit a V8"
is just the guys who have modded their V6's that get their panties in a twist to the answer. i dont even know why. its not even up for debate. a V8 is better. end of story.
a V8 sounds better
looks better
performance is debatable in stock form vs modded/charged 6's, but with a few 'wake ups' performance is undoubtable better
a decent tune can yield better fuel economy, especially when you take into account freeway driving or towing
a V8 tows better
and if you take a clunker (say VN) V6 and go to the effort of legally fitting an 8, then you increase its potential to find a buyer
possibly even making it more valuable.
