Muscle cars are about going fast in a straight line so get the big engine. If you want a sports car though a v6 with a supercharger does the trick just fine.

i always wanted to try driving a v8 muscle car. but if it's a daily then get the v6. or better yet, test drive both and see what fits your needs more (not what you like more because obviously it'll be the v

true, until turbo chargers were getting more popular and superchargers.
Turbo/SC > N/A in terms of making horsepower. racing wise on a track N/A & SC >Turbo....unless it has anti-lag
v8's arent that scary. think about it. an sti or evo have 4 cylinder turbos, and can blow them away. With less horsepower. American cars are heavy, so they need the v8 power to make it quicker. fords ecoboost motors are faster then their v8 motors by a long shot. v6 turbos> v8 hands down. look at V6 turbos in the past. 300zx TT, 3000gt vr-4, GT-R and past skylines, N54 (335i), porsche turbos, audi S4 (b6) new ones are supercharged.

V8 = gas, higher insurance premium. If you got it and you want it, do it. But don't do it because you're worried bout what others think. If you car is clean and you have pride in it, who cares.

That's crazy
I didn't know the ZL1 was that quick. But then again, Lamborghinis really aren't the greatest performance/track cars

I have a 2009 v6 charger and I would be lying if I said I didnt want the v8. Unfortunately, financially it wasnt really an option at the time.

Decided to go with the v6 in the meantime for my daily use. I'm going to try and work my way up to an RT later on.

It's your money.
Girls aren't going to top you off because you drive a V8 as opposed to a V6 and if you're paying more per month to impress some dudes...
My first 2 cars were 4 cylinder pieces of trash. I bought a V8...meh. Not that serious to me. I went crazy and got mad speeding tickets. Matter of fact...I really didn't go too crazy. Cops just loved pulling my %@! over. I ended up grabbing a V6 Charger with low miles instead of the trashed V8 models with high miles that I saw. I travel a lot and I don't even want that power anymore. It's ultimately pointless. I'm not a racer.
To each their own.

I'm in that dielma now trying to choose between a v6 or a v8 Mustang 2004........, I really want a damn mustang but others are steering me away because it's a Ford... I get the it's unreliable car waste of money I have about 8500 , saved up that's all I can afford on a car cash and really don't want to entertain the idea of making payments I rather pay for it and just own it < I almost went for a 2005 camry for 6500 lol, But I know the day I get it I will still look at every mustang like damn I should've bought one of them :/ so I'll just take my chances with mustang

I don't see a FOUR DOOR car as a muscle car... Never have never will..
That's like copping a four door chevelle and taking it to the drag strip.. Odds are you won't see that happen..
But OP cop the v6 man!!!.. One of my older 40+ year old cousin once told me that "Once you stop worrying what people think of you, then you can actually start enjoying life!" "We actually buy things with other people in mind, otherwise we would buy Kmart clothes without a second thought."
But I would tell you to go with the 2011 model if you could becuz the HP I believe is about 70something HP's from the v8... And it comes with duals..

your wasting your bred copping a V-6
i cant stand dudes who try to stunt with a V-6 when the v-8 is an option.
cop one a few years old and get the better model.

Get what you can afford bro. Dont get yourself in a financial hole that you dont have to be in.
But as said before the only vehicle that can have a v6 and be considered a muscle car is a Buick GN. Also nothing beats that V8 sound.
I love my 6.1 V8 SRT Jeep.

this. How the hell is the charger not even available in 2 door option? That's just insane. I've been raised to believe that a 4 door car is grandpa's car.
that ZL1 Camaro is my all time dream car. Someday I will own it.
