Great 8













Being a "car guy" I of course had to get the big V8, there's just no replacing the throaty rumble and acceleration you get from it when compared to test drives in the V6. It would be even better with a Corsa cat-back system, hint hint, but I digress. One thing that interests me the most is the progress of automotive science. You see my 2005 Infiniti had a turbo 6 that made 280 horsepower, went 0-60 in 5.5 to 5.9 seconds depending on your source (I never timed it myself), required premium gas, and weighed 3,416 lbs. It averaged 18.8 MPG over it's lifetime.
