I like the v6 better. The mail slot doesn't make any sense to me really. And honestly I could care less about the ram air effect.

Yeah the SS hood seems to by slightly bigger. And have a longer groove in the middle of it, that's what a salesman was telling me when I looked at a v6 model earlier today.

If you don't care about things that add extra hp. Or if having over 400 hp doesn't make sense, then yeah the v6 is right up your alley.

Or you could easily rip the v6 out of it and drop in a bigger motor. Thats probably what i'll be doing after warranties run out and I pick one up with a blown motor. I just think the mail slot looks goofy. I'm more of a person that makes a car how I want it anyway.
