I agree with vettemaan. V6's will only go so far before you're wishing you had an 8. save up a bit more and get a Z28 instead of settling for what you can buy now and possibly not liking it later on and wishing you had been more patient. I mean just look at all the guys here on this forum with threads asking how they can change their V6's to V8's. Dodge that bullet completely and just buy an 8. Yes the fuel consumption is costly, but when you put the pedal to the metal and those rear wheels are spinnin like crazy and that Engine is screamin so loud, you know you've bought the right car at that instant
