i love the sound of a V8, and personaly i would prefer a V8 over a rice eater, cause you can thrash the **** out of a V8 and not worry about it blowing up like a turbz

I like both, but let's face it guys, turbos are MUCH easier and cheaper to modify once you get past basic mods. If you want 300Kw either will do nicely. If you want 600Kw, forced induction is the only way you are going to do it.
