Still would like to see a GM v-8 on the list though. > [@FS: Apple TV, Barely Used](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-apple-tv-barely-used/38832/4): > > I am surprised the Nissan 3.5 isn’t on the list. I would think (could be wrong) it had to be a “new” motor for 09 not a cary over of the same. Like the new 3.6 like stated above…but that 3.5 is sweet. My bother test drove a Maxima and loved it. > [@Help me find a Maury episode!](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/help-me-find-a-maury-episode/38895/7): > > not sure about the G8, but the decision when we got my wifes SRX, was this… the difference between them wasn’t that much 0-60, most of the noticeable power was highway passing speed. millage wasn’t that much of a difference so that didn’t matter. BUT…the V8 required premium fuel & the V6 did not…thats a big deal IMO. also there is a big difference in 17" tires & 18 tires… $50+ each or more. The big thing was we got a ridiculous deal on the one we got…if I had found a deal on a V8 i probably would have take it too…but if both were sitting in front of me with good deals it would have been a tough decision. The G8 Gt takes regular unleaded. The GT get to 60 in 5.0 and the v-6 is 7.0. For the tires I don’t weigh too much of a factor on that…I will pay extra b/c I really like the looks of the 19’s. I saw you can get a GT for roughly $25K now with all the incentives…which is crazy good for what you get for the $. So for only $2K more I woul love to get the GT and get a awesome motor and better looking wheels. I do think the v-6 is nice…they look pretty much the same as the GT and the motor is decent…but motor is a huge factor for me. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2009s-best-engines/200995)._
