I dunno. I’ve had the dual-turbo 3.5l Ford engine for about three years now (I’m not shy about letting it “air out” from time to time) and it’s held up remarkably well. No discernible loss of power, no engine noises. I’d still rather have the V-8, every single time - seriously, could you imagine all the engineering they put into a v-6 put towards a solid small-block v-8?
Why, yes, yes, I can!
