I am Confused, Why get V8's?? Options

[Guest_Matthew_*]

Like the title says, why get a mustang or camaro, firebird, etc. Unless it is like a 69 Camaro SS or something. I know a guy who works at a Chevy and Pontiac dealer. We argue like everyday about the corvette and new Pontiac GTO. They both have the 5.7 Liter V8 engine. It's like 350 Hp or something. What I don't get is why do people think that they have to have bigass mean sounding engines to get big power. I know that some of them can withhold boost by a super charger and nitrous. But I have only seen one stang that had a turbo. It was in a magazine. I guess what I don't get is why do they have bigass gas guzzling engines that produce mediocre horsepower when you can get a 2.0 Liter engine to produce more than twice of the amount that some V8's have?

Can someone explain this to me? I know that k2 works at some mustang performance place. Or maybe someone else. Maybe one of you guys can explain it to me.

Thanks

Edit: Everyone is concerned about emissions and gas usage then why do they continue to produce those cars. Honestly I know that some 4 bangers lose to V8's and V10's. But I have seen personally a Dodge Neon completly spank the shiat out of a Viper.

i don't hate on V8's. My dad and i are restoring his 69 Chevelle SS and a 911 Porche. V8's hate on me. There is this guy that has a 90 Iroc-z camaro, i mean the car is nice needs some body work and minor things. If something breaks he just rigs it doesn't really fix it. anyway he always asks me when i'm gonna get the other half of my motor. it makes me mad cause i don't friggin dis his car. NOT tryin to sound bitchy but my car is in WAY better condition than his and all i hear about is how much his is worth. When i got my white wheels he was like, "damn you made that car even more ugly." I told him that i fix up my car to get ppl to like me like he does. I am tryin to be as unique as i can in making my mods. I like being different. So thats how i feel.
