I was searching to find the answer and couldnt find any truth other than maybe weight being the answer. But weight can be reduced. Why would a V8 in an SC be slower than building the 3.8.
I understand there is more torque in our little 6, but when you compare the cost of a 3.8 and V8 for horse power. I would think that it would be somewhat cheaper to build an 8 with the same horsepower output. This is taking into consideration that the parts for a swap from a 6 to an 8 are already available.
Can someone take the time and help me understand. The 6 just seems so much more complicated to build.
