Z, no contest. I had one for like two weeks back in the '90s, and always wanted to put a V8 in one, but never did. You do the weight math, though, and the advantage of the V8, especially a 350, is zilch. I saw somewhere that the shipping weight of my Ferd X302 was like 385 pounds, however, which beats some 4-bangers.
Bring back the straight six--BMW says it's a good idea!
