Following Rob's logic one could easily say that the Dakota is't a race car
either and if you want to race pick up Z-28 or a used Vette. I sure think
its possible to strike a good balance between your performance needs and
practicality. I'd bet most of us weighed these or similar questions when we
bought. By the way most of the numbers I've seen give the V-6 15-20%
better milage than the V-8 .Purely as mileage goes I'd consider that much
better.
