[V8] suspension?

[Seamus O'Carey]

I was under the impression that they came out about even considering the I5,
though smaller, has a cast-iron block, while the V8 is aluminum and weighs
much less.  I don't suppose anyone has actual weights for comparison.  I
suppose I'll go do some more research. :P
