Default Does that have a V8?

So I need some lunch and decide to go to the local Jimmy Johns and as I'm getting back in the vette a kid had just pulled in and asks "Does that have a V8?"...And I say why yes it does.

So they are just about to get out of the car and decided to wait until I leave...I assume to listen to the car since the fuse it out

I gave them a little show....not too wild....just enough to get to the stop sign quickly.

And yes, the sandwich was awesome!

I got asked that at McDonalds one day and I told him no that it had a 6 in it. That the z06 badge on the side means 6 cyl. if you don't see a badge its a v8. I told him someday I might get a v8 but for now the 6 is all I can handle

I think some assume since the Camaro, and the Mustang have the option of a V6, they figure all cars have that option.

On a related note, I had a gorgeous woman tell me that she absolutely loved my car. Then she preceded to ask if it was the Saturn or the Pontiac. Lol!
