WELL, KITO!
I actually quite enjoy the power of my crappy little 3.8 V6 actually. Beat's a 1.4 4cyl 5dr Honda civic of same age any day of the week. Also beats an `07 1.6 Toyota Corolla and a Toyota Avensis (UK hatchy-style version of a Camry) 2L... what else have I driven that dribbles in comparison...??? Mmmmm, Ah yep, 1.4 Toyota Yaris Sedan Ugliest most useless car ever driven. The only thing I liked was the USB and iPod connectivity, other than that it was utter pish. Wasn't mine thankfully.

Here in Aus, my crappy little 3.8 V6 beats a 2L Subaru Liberty, and a 1.2 Kia Rio, and a 1.2 Mazda 2.

What have I had a shot of that's as good as if not better? Short list: My bro-in-laws straight 6 Ford Falcon Futura might actually be the same if not a little better, my bro's Mazda 3 Sport had heaps more power than this, and my mums diesel VW Passat.
All up I have a great respect for my crappy little ecotec, the V6 is the most powerful engine I've ever personally owned.


But a V8 would be fantastic! Can't wait to own one!

Agree
If you are going to upgrade anyway, maybe leave it or dont mod too much to limit the spending and help with the saving.

And V8s, I6Ts are troublesome man. You usually have to set up yours mirrors correctly when driving them as all the other cars are behind you and sometimes they stick a finger upright pointing to the sky. I look but dont usually see what they point at. Mustve missed it.

Hmm.
I have the Champaign coloured side skirts.
And on the front i think the silver grill and fog lights make quite a difference.
