for the extra stuff he threw at the v6 to make it act like a v8, the price wouldn’t be far off. And the resale of a v8 is a lot more than a v6 so if you sell it at anytime, it would be better to have the v8.
It’s you car, have fun with it. I think it looks good, I was just wondering why you would start with a v6 instead of an v8.
