Un-enjoyable for you isn't un-enyoyable for everyone.
I own both a V8 Dart convertible and a slant six Dart hardtop. The convertible is in WAY better shape. I've owned V-8 Mopars my whole life. Still, I enjoy driving and working on the slant six Dart WAY more. Go figure.
If you're all about how fast your car is, great. You've got a lot of company. Me? I don't race my cars, I just drive and enjoy them. And 200 reliable h.p. in a 3200 lb car with 20+ mpg is plenty for me. And apparently, there are at least a few folks who agree with me. Slanters aren't ALL people who are just saving up for an engine swap, BTW.
Slanters don't constantly suggest you V-8 guys swap in a slant, or if you REALLY wanna go fast, drop in a big block. Why can't you guys show us the same courtesy? Some folks LIKE slants.
