None of the V8's I've driven felt like they were as "connected" to the throttle as a good 4-cylinder is.

Yeah I know, how a car performs is more important than how it feels when you blip the gas, but I grew up driving 4's so that's the type of feeling I prefer.
If I've learned anything watching keichi tsuchiya videos, its that nothing can beat a well tuned ae86 on a tight winding road
