V8

[dictionaaron]

i dont know that id want a v8. id be happy with the I-6 considering weight and gas mileage and all. If they can sqeeze about 300hp out of the 6 banger then that seems like more than enough. But thats just me. Plus all the talk about serious mods to make a V8 fit seems more likely for a 6. But i dont know anything so anything whatever comes out(or doesnt) is fine with me.

The Pathfinder with a 4.0L 270 hp V6 weighing just as much as the H3 can get 16/23 mpg and is pretty quick(0-60 in 7-8secs). Only problem is it's not an H3. I would think the H3 could get close with a new powerplant. Obviously not match it because of aerodynamics, but at least come close.

So a 6 or a V8? Which would actually be better to keep the MPG close to the same while improving acceleration and passing power?
