Which Engine Would You Choose a V8 or Straight 6?
I love V8's just think Rover could of fitted a better V8 or even a straight 6.
Jaguar had a very good straight 6. Which one would you choose if you were building your ideal car?

I like the straight six, but you can't beat the sound of the V8........
I suppose it would have to be the V8!!

Remember the straight six in a Triumph 2500 PI, great car in it's day and fantastic low down torque. Is there a reason why manufacturers moved away from straight six to V6. Guess V6 is cheaper, takes up less space etc.
All V6's I have driven including ours are so lacking in low down torque. No real experience of V8's in anything! |

If fuel consumption isn't an issue, V8 every time.
