So much hating.

Saying 99% of V8s would eat us is a huge stretch. A GT, yes. A GTP, no. No one said they were the fastest thing on earth, but we do need to get a little credit, since the V8 bigdogs like to take it so much. And stock for stock, it's a mostly fair game for an underrated car like the GP. Don't throw mods in the mix, it only makes for flamebait, be reasonable.

Besides, the power gap between V8 and V6 nowadays appears to be shrinking. There are multiple V6s now that approach and exceed 300HP with no forced induction. It's a grayer line than it used to be.
