What is the Benefit of a V8?
Ok, I have a Mustang V6 and I "want" another mustang but a GT....but I ask myself, and I ask you for your thoughts....What really is the benefit of having a V8 mustang compared to a V6 mustang if....
1.) you follow the speed laws
2.) Street driving only...no track
Think about those situations and compare a V8 to a V6 on everyday roads....what really is the benefit of having a V8 over a V6 Mustang?
The only thing I can think of is to get that awesome V8 sound that a V6 cant rally get. If anyone else has ANYTHING else please post.

RE: What is the Benefit of a V8?
if you have a GT, chances are good that you can pass the car next to you on the freeway even if they don't want you to.
and you also don't hafta put the pedal to the floor to get the car to move.
and it's 7593265276983743982637262 times more fun to drive a v8 than a v6.
you should go test drive a v8 and then you'll know the difference.

You don't have to drive over the posted speed limits to feel the power and torque of a v8.... Hell just accelerating when I get onto a highway at legal speeds brings a smile to my face... And the v8 sound is amazing too...

RE: What is the Benefit of a V8?
but it doesn't make zero difference on the road following speed laws unless you never ever accelerate. do you ever use the pedal on the right hand side of your feet?
