Depends what you're doing, a V6 can be just as powerful as a V8 and more economical.
Sure the power comes at higher revs, but with the right knowhow, everything is much cheaper.

Overall, cars like these have more advantages, such as weight and a something like a V6 (which you'll commonly find in smaller cars) is more balanced overall.
Weight can be a big factor in handling, heck, the recent corvettes still use LEAF SPRINGS! Horse and carriage anyone?

yeah, but when people in the US mod them, they lower them for street use, which destroys their rally pedigree
