  • Who drives a V8 as their daily driver

    Just wondering how many of us drive V8's as our daily drivers. These would be the cars you drive 90% of the time.

    My daily is my '99 Z28, so far it's been a great car, I've done a lot to it and I'm just about to hit 100,000 miles.

      My '03 Crown Vic. I put about 40 miles a day on it. After 8 months and 6000 miles, the only thing I've had to fix were the oil cooler lines ($34.00 and 20 minutes of my time). So far it's been a great car.
      Just groovin' to my own tune.

        Monte Carlo: 5.3 V8, about 45% of the time.
        Mirada: 318, about 50% of the time.
        Ramcharger: 360, whenever.
        Chevelle: unknown disp. SBC, sparingly.
        Editor-at-Large at...well, here, of course!

            if you make it fire twice you could claim v12 and double the hp numbers.. ya know, like everyone else. :

            I gave v8 up in 1996 after disabled.. income was suddenly horrifying. At 97 cents a gallon, I spnet $4000 in fuel...

            I drove so much I could hear v8s in my sleep...and my foot was moving to the throttle...

            This very question, ironically, has got me wandering around the local car ads...

            I seek p71.. preferably fresh off auction, needing the civilian work.

            the 7k mile a year think is v8 doable...I drive less than a retired ww2 grandma.

              got a 4.8 in my Sierra and love it. wouldn't have it any other way (well, I wouldn't turn down a bigger motor, lol) but really, that little engine has plenty of spunk for a daily driver, no complaints and the mileage ain't half bad ;-)

                90 formula 50 miles each way to work every day.

                        How about a V10? My dd is a 04 Super Duty 4x4, V10 6spd manual. I've put 14K on it since I traded my 5.4-powered F150 on it in March. I freakin' love this truck.

                            I drive a Tahoe with an L31. Not as fun as an LS1, but it is a V8 daily driver.
