Sure, it's plenty of power...but it'll always be second best. I'd try to avoid talking about the HP all the time because the numbers will always be compared to the V8, not the competition. 300 HP is a lot, but it falls way short of what the car could be, 426 HP.

Get used to the question "Why didn't you get the V8?" if you start talking about V6 power.
I truly and honestly do not care. I don't get into the pseudo penis-envy wars of horsepower. 304 is plenty since I don't race or go to the track. If someone asks "why the V6" I'll say, "because that's what I wanted."
