The slant or the 318

Kinda back on subject,If I was 20 years old and had 2 stock 10,000 mile motors,one a slant,the other a 318,I would go with the 318 cause my buddies wouldnt think I had a wimpy six in my car.Older,wiser now,I gotta go with the six.A V8 is just a cheaper easier way,and fine in my opinion.Haveing a 14 sec v8 isnt impressive.Butt haveing a 14 sec slant is,but it costs more.Slants to make power make you work harder,if your lazy stuff a v8.Guzzi Mark
