The Automotive Press in the last few years suddenly seems to be warming to the idea that there is a point when you have enough<\/em> speed.\u00a0 I know that sounds a bit heretical; a car can never be fast enough that it could not use a bit more horsepower surely?<\/p>\n

The trades however are also there — with a V8 comes more weight, and more thirst,\u00a0 and more thirst due to weight.\u00a0\u00a0 Less balanced handling due to the weight.\u00a0 A V6 with the right level of power can be enough.\u00a0 The 2010 Camaro V6 with the LLT 3.6L DOHC VVT Direct Injected engine seems a very tidy package.\u00a0 The 2011 Mustang 3.7L V6 with a similar 305 hp is getting rave reviews.<\/p>\n
