Ahh, here's one we haven't discussed. Well, here's my $0.02.

The V8 is the original - there's no replacing that fact. It's a cleaner design, and I actually prefer the way it looks. The sideblades are flush, the rocker panels are simple, and I like that the back panel near the air vents isn't all black but body colored. The V8 is a great sounding engine, and with the right exhaust it blends great engine noises with even better exhaust noises.

However, I chose the V10. Why? Well, most obviously - it's a V10, and you just don't get that many opportunities to own and experience a V10. Its characteristics are exotic - from engine whines, to feel, to exhaust noises. And not just a V10, but a naturally aspirated V10 revving out to 8,700rpm... it was too much to pass up. I also wanted to experience the car with the extra power. Is it necessary to have fun? No. But it's definitely entertaining. Lastly, I also figured this would be near the end of the line to buy a car like this new - and I intended (and still do) to keep it indefinitely.

Which should you buy? Whichever makes you happy.
