a v8 and extra weight into the car......just saying...

Sure it can compete power wise, but it's not really any more economical and the turbo V6 engine is even more expensive to produce than the simpler V8. As Dan pointed out the weight difference isn't all that much once you look at the totals. The V6 will have the slight advantage weight wise and economy wise if you can keep it out of the boost but it isn't that much.
