Do you regret buying a v6 over a v8 or vice versa, if you do, why?

I only regret it when I'm driving the same speed on the highway for a long time! My big 5.0 isn't doing anything but sucking gas then!

Overall though I don't regret it go big or go home!

I'll click no regrets as this car was gifted to me (stock) after high school as a grad present. It was either this or a better looking Ranger with a V6 haha.

Not to say I don't wish I had a V8. In the process of saving up for a new 5.0! The increase in fuel consumption is a small price to pay for those extra 2 cylinders. Though we'll see how much that holds true come Memorial day's fuel prices...

Zero regrets. I was on the cusp of maybe buying a used 2010 GT 500 but I just wanted to be different and I'm still happy about it.

No regrets what so ever but with a little money those 6er's can be made to go fast!

I loved my 4.0, took it about as far as I could take it. Bought a V8 for the sound alone.. the power was just a bonus.
