Lines: 17 I have this car that has a 6 cylinder engine. I'm thinking about replacing it with an 8 cylinder. Will that help me get the groceries from the store to home quicker? Would it help if I replaced the automatic transmission with a 4-speed? How about a 5-speed? And which would be better for towing my vacation trailer? Gee, maybe it just depends on what I want to use my car for...?
