It is easier and cheaper to sell the 4cyl car and buy a V8 car to be perfectly honest.

Why? I own both and my 2.3 is more fun to drive. Rides smoother handles better. But gets worse gas milage than my 5.0. I would really like to put a 5speed in the 2.3 and trade my 5.0 to my wife.

Convertibles do not count. It doesn't matter WHAT motor is in them and they are always fun to drive, LOL!
