thanks, that's good info and will definitely be taken into consideration.

it is my understanding though that there were a lot of changes made in the new motors and they now produce a lot more power then those made just a few years ago.

I will be test driving both for sure before deciding on which engine to get but as for now im forming opinion based on the specs given in the engine details.

if I have to eat baloney for 6 months to get the v8 that's not a problem, just don't want to spend for extra power if im sure im not going to need it.
