A few Rules to start this off.
For me, i much prefer an 8, they sound better, they are much easier to get going faster, they don't use any more fuel when driven nicely around town and best of all chicks dig them
I have asked on here time and time again for people to show me examples of 6's in where there are 11 second NA ones getting around, no one is yet to provide with me this and people usually dance around the fact and go on to say how their car can beat LS1/LS2 variant cars no problem. Well thats all good and fine but before you do a comparison on how great your V6 is, do a true comparison.
To compare a any FI vehicle with a stock NA application is just stupid, it really is if i were to charge my Senator, i doubt any 6 would come close to me with a simple bolt on and tune.
Fact is, the 6 is highly limited and very expensive to really get going fast especially in our heavy Australian cars.
I know alot of guys here mod their 6's which is great it really is, but please do not keep comparing your FI applications to stock of the floor V8's it isn't even a comparison, instead, take it to the track and compare it with an 8 of similar mods, race it at the track and see how you go.
And last but not least torque....nothing puts you back in your seat quite like a V8.
PS: I could get more technical, but i won't, i think my post is pretty much sums up my thoughts.
