I'll wait 'til more guys drop the Diablo in and see). I have to be honest and say that it all depends on what your goal is.

I am 32 and have a young son. The gas mileage on a well tuned 3.8L is much better than the 4.6L. With the whole Iraq issue, I'd compromise HP right now in lieu of potential gas prices. For young men, Insurance is a big factor too.

Don't let all these guys interested in increasing their ET at the tracks let you fold on the V-6. Modify him a bit and you'll blow the GT boys out the window and they'll look at you like...Huh?...

Do your research, keep function before form and only buy the best.

Have Fun! Jane of all Trades.
