The reason European cars have smaller motors is because they were designed to run the autobahn. Having a smaller motor with as much hp actually saves gas. Yeah, I realize the new z06 is boasting that it actually sips gas compared to other cars with similar sized motors but I'd like to see how it actually does in the real world. I've got a feeling the numbers are hyped a bit.
And personally, I like the whine of a turbo, especially a big turbo, and to a lesser extent a supercharger over the sound of a V8. That V8 rumble doesn't do anything for me anymore.
Stand next to a hemi powered top fuel dragster if you want to appreciate the noise coming out of a big, sic, motor, lol.
