I'm re-reading the links you put in about the OHV vs. OHC & DOHC trying to understand the engine, think I get it a little better. I ran across another animated comparison that's pretty good... http://www.samarins.com/glossary/dohc.html I like the thing about shooting a potato 500 feet...

Hey, thanks for the replies. I do have a V6 4L, not a V8. I test drove a V8, and it was great, could feel a bit of difference. But not too much for me any way. I love it. It is really quiet; my last car was a V6 Mustang and this engine is quite a bit smoother and more powerful. Think it...
