oh yeah, the love for the v-8 is there, but the love for the insurance on the younger people is not.. under 25 and you get slaughtered by insurance premiums

I'm 18, and I'll never drive a 4 banger. There's no mistaking the rumble, and torque that comes from a V8. Hopefully, the future will make room as well, in light of the more economically minded car builders - V8s will never die if I have anything to say about it!

they are cheaper and they want to be like everyone else. if there was a new movie with nothing but trucks there would be an increase in trucks. just like the motorcycle with the biker boyz movie

Stupid people. Namely thje car manufacturers. How many 4 and 6 cylinder models available vs 8 cylinder models. They are more profitable, just like fwd, it's all about the suits making more money. DW-03GT37980.7302314815

We could discuss the pros and cons of I4 vs V8 all day. Price, insurance, ease to mod, gas milage, etc. For me, you cannot beat the sheer bang for the buck of a V8, namely a mustang. Yes there are some fantastic I4s out there as well as many imports that have really good taste, but they'll never feel the rumble.

I couldn't care less who beats me, i'm not an F1 driver. But I will say, I can't think of a car (irrespective of price) with a better sound than a 4.6 stang with Flowmasters. Its the beat thing about the car IMO yellow4.637981.9008217593

Or better yet a 5.0 with Borla Ho hO hO hO hoho ho !!!!!
I got my car simply because I liked it. I could have gotten a fox-body or LT1 F-body and been cheaper, but I really didn't want one. And the Mustang GTs from the year my car was made were no quicker, heavier, and alot more common. So I'm happy with my GS-R.

I can, a '65 Pontiac with a built 400, hot cam, long-tubes and Spintech mufflers. Can't beat the old school baby, it rumbles like no other. That's why Pontiacs are known as "ground pounders."
