Let's be honest....

The carb is for that old school look of a big hemi... The modern hemi is cheaper than say a 426... Also the ease of tuning... Paying 400 for a custom tune vs carbs... Plus it looks more right under the hood

I agree, But there are always 2 sides of the coin. You have the modern side and the retro side. Neither is wrong, it's just 2 different styles.
