well... I'm gonna say Z6 because it appears to make more power than Y8....

but since I had a Y8 ...i'm gonna say go for the Y8 because the Y8 has a bigger intake manifold

oh yea, D17s... thats the best of them all i think...more torque!

And as the dynos have proven time and time again, "bigger" doesn't always mean better.
