isnt there a v8 vs jdm engine thread already? imo is's just personal taste. why the heck drive an s-chassis in the first place? lots of other platforms out there with way more accesible replacement parts and cheaper. but we like these pieces of shit, so we stick to them. hobbies arent necessaries, and sometimes hobbies are expesive.
the hobbie of liking the sound of l6, turbo, having a beautiful looking engine in your bay just got almost twice as expensive, but nobody is forcing us.
