Looking to Buy - 6 vs 8 cylinder?

[RHO]

I’m a rookie so apologize in advance if this is a silly question. Looking to make a new purchase. Do I grab a 2025 with the 6 banger or do I build a 2026 with the v8 coming back? Any general consensus on here amongst the gang of which is better/preferred? Pros and cons of each? Thanks in advance.

The Hurricane has some power , but they are pushing a small in line 6 so hard , it is only a 3.0 , I would go V8

It's not being pushed that hard. It's not a standard N/A engine that they put a turbo on. It was purpose built for boost, and a factory engine with a warranty is tuned to be safe and reliable. Not at the ragged edge.

I don't understand this logic at all. Some of you act as though they slapped a turbo on an N/A engine and called it good. 500+HP turbo 4&6 cylinders have been mainstream for more than 20+ years now.
An NA engine trying to make 500 hp will have more stress on it than am engine designed for boost. NA engines need RPM to make power and in the hemi's case or any other in block cam N/A V8, with OHV's a valetrain that can take the abuse which is more often than not the cause of failure; where are most of the hemi failures? Valvetrain related.
