I feel like the I6 is the superior motor from a mechanical standpoint.

That said, I have enjoyed my V6's the most. The instant torque is just nice. However, the VQ37 in my 370Z also had "instant torque". Just not nearly as much as a V8. It had some real magic going on in the valvetrain, though, that gave the torque curve as flat a top as a supercharged V8, just much lower legs on the table.

What's the point? A V8 vs another V8, in various states of modification. The hillbillies in the Vette lost as soon as the Dart jumped them. A turbo 4 vs another old V8?

These are jsut random videos that don't really support any point I can see.

Fair enough. I went back and watched the last half of the video, which I'd skipped after the farting the first time I watched. It does sound good, but it's not a sound or volume I'd want on a Benz.

Ownership of those Mopars takes something a Benz owner will never understand including the Japanese version. Kinda like having a pretty girl, or making the girl pretty when she ****.
