V6 vs V8

They claim V6 have 300 hp but get it up to a steady 90 mph and step on the gas...it sure doesn't go like 300 hp...I think HP ratings today are very inflated....here in 1970 they were underestimating HP, today they are overestimating...people just accept ever they are toldWell we got these electric speedos that move when your foot goes to the floor--even if the car doesn't seem to be picking up more speed...these newer cars fool you...some new cars use the radio to help out with the exhaust sounds...the auto makers go all out to make the newer cars feel quicker then they really are
I feel the same..... and thanks for saying it. My 318 2bbl rated at 150 net ran 15.90's while my 200 net V6 Pontiac in a more aero dynamic car (and maybe lighter) ran 16.20's. 50 more horse and a slower time??? Hmmmmmm......
