I hear ya, Bill. What's cooler: A SS/AA, or a whisper smooth turbo'd slant?
They are both waaaay cool in their own element. It's just that more people are attracted to V-8's than 6's.
Back in the 80's, I stood behind Lydon & Johnson's SS/AA Barracuda, while it was idling, unattended, in the staging lanes. Talk about awesome! No 6 cylinder could make me felt like I did listening to that Hemi.
I'm having a hard time making my point. A turbo'd six is fast, and I love seeing different stuff go fast. It's just that people love V-8's more than 6's.
