    The rational thought of moving to a V8 is somewhat true. You have a better starting point engine wise, but for whatever reason is unrealistic for most guys on this form. Could be insurance, gas, parents, money or maybe a combination of those things. Regardless, you already made the decision you did and frankly WGAF? Spend your money how you want and make the car your own.

    The turbo route will be a solid one and would make some wicked power. I'm looking forward to your build thread.

    I think you hit every point on why I own a V6, insurance would be ridiculous, gas would always be non-existent, parents said no V8 for first car, and an 8 is still out of my price range five years later

    I realize this post is a week old, but if you really think you are going to get better fuel mileage out of a boosted 3.8 than you would out of a stock/lightly modded LS1 then you have some serious research to do.
