Default What 4cyl, 6cyl and 8cyl would you choose?

Well after my Skyline thread I posted earlier it got me to thinking. What 4cyl, 6cyl and 8cyl would you choose given you had the money. Can be any induction, production model or non-production.

These would be my choices

4cyl WRX STi Spec C
6cyl R34 GT-R
8cyl C6 Z06

4 cylinder; The most expensive one, then sell it for $$
6 cylinder; Any decent Falcon 6
8; 351 XC Cobra or XY GTHO

I have no love for "luxury" cars...or Aston Martins, Ferraris, Porsches etc.

Just love my Fords

You guys seriously don't like any 4cyls. I would of thought even a Cosworth of any description would be enough to satisfy

It's funny when i hear people "hate" the 2.0L brigade ... especially when you hear the comments "Only Milk and Juice come in 2L" (and see the stickers).

It's even funnier when you see that "Bottle of Milk" absolutely annihilate the driver of the with one of the abovementioned stickers :

I have a love of all nice vehicles ... I am not a close-minded as a lot of people demonstrate on here.

Well I ditto that.

The subies sound with a good exhuast is very unique, and good. M3 sounds horn when pushes, and the same the the Merc.

Although, like I said in another post, the maserati's 3200GT V8 is amazing! I know technically its a fazzer but whatever.
