Why do v8 guys seem so unhappy

[losh1971]

That's the problem....Read the thread, or the forum in general, people are saying they are happy with their V8's, yet I am quite happy with my 6.....In fact, I have 8 cars in total, with 6 being 6cyls, 1 V8 and 1 4 cyl and enjoy my 6cyls more than the 4 cyl and V8.....So my idea of being happy obviously varies from the social side of this forum

Maybe those who need a few extra cubic inches are making up for the missing inches in other areas.....

4 inch straight through with no mufflers is pretty sexy, too.

It doesn't matter who or whether anyone else likes it.
It only matters to you ( the owner/user),
Some people love cleaning and working on them , some love just the fact they own them and can sit and stare at them, some love racing them , some love driving occasionally in a spirated manner, some love cruising , some love showing them off, some love not even owning and just talking with owners about their cars
Therefore it only matters if it puts a smile on your dial .

How cute! I'll raise you with my 18.4 litre V24...

I'll see your V24 and raise you with 17.6L V28 (not including spare engines).

What rig is that in, roadrangers are a good transmission and the sound of a Detroit diesel in unmistakable
