I imagine he would have been just fine in a V6. The point was, moving to a
smaller engine, with less HP/torque, caused him to need to rev the engine
way higher than he would have needed to in the V6 or in an 8.
(For those in southern california, I'm talking about the I-15 Cajon pass.)
I know it freaks me out when I drive my wife's V6 Vue and see the tach go
up
to four or six thousand rpm. On my truck, the tach rarely goes over 2000
rpm.
