alot of it is a matter of opinion and wallet. i happen to like look of the 5.0s, and many people here will also agree. the 5.0s mods are easier to come by and much cheaper. theres also endless more roads to go down in deciding what mods to do. i dont think anyone on here will argue that the 5.0 is more effecient, and i dont think thats a point they were trying to make, either. for the same price as a stock 96-98 you can make your 5.0 spank half the stuff on the road.

i also love the look of the 96-98, and around here they are still pretty expensive (at least $7000 for 100k). you cant touch a 99+ for under $11000 and thats if you can even find an 8cyl. if you love the look and you've got the bank, then of course its more effecient and they are great cars. just be ready to sink alot more money alot faster if you wanna get movin.

dont get me wrong, it all depends what you want ouf of your car too. if you just want a comfortable daily driver with some power behind it, you're looking in the right place. some people just want to go as fast as possible for as little as possible.

...its not that i dont love my car, but i definitely respect the 5.0s and i still love em.
