Well I think it's all about money and what makes your mojo work. If you want gas mileage...buy a Prius...Zoom...Zoom! If you want to have fun, make lots of noise, shake the ground, disturb the neighbors, piss-off the cops, make people afraid to ride with you....go with the big block. The low rpm torque alone is the best reason...staarting off in 2nd. or 3rd. gear from a stop and still beating the crap out of that chevy next to you.
Do I need to keep going? It's about fun.
