Would a V6 in a smaller car feel the same to drive as a V8 in a larger & heavier car?
I'm a young driver and I've driven a few V6s before such as a Ford Mustang, Suzuki Grand Vitara, and a Ford Explorer. I want to buy a used Land Rover L3 which is a V8 and i was wondering if the power would be way too much for me. Or would it feel pretty much the same because Land Rovers are much larger and heavier than Mustangs and Suzukis?
I don't know much about cars so your answers are greatly appreciated.

I don't know much about cars so your answers are greatly appreciated. The Land Rover will feel like a barge compared to the Mustang / Vitara, because it's big and heavy. Performance is similar, because although it's got more power, but it's heavier.
Main result, you use more gas, and break down a lot more (because it's a Land Rover) Power to weight ratios can usually accurately gage performance. A lighter car with less power has less weight to lug around in the first place. If you buy a Land Rover it will break down a great deal.

- Do some car batteries that would fit a 1995 Ford Taurus SW have a smaller body/core than others? I recall that the last time I had a battery installed at Les Schwab they had a rough time getting it to fit properly. Took nearly two hours. Would it be possible to ask for a battery that is physically a bit smaller this time--or are they all exactly the same size?
- Should the United States Navy have invest in some smaller aircraft carriers instead of Ford and Nimitz class supercarriers ships? Maybe have 5 Ford and 5 Nimitz supercarriers and 10 or so smaller as the French Charles de Gualle or a World War 2 size carrier with a few planes because losing a supercarrier would be a big blow to the US military morale and cost production. Since China and Russia has the S -400 and supersonic missles long range and maybe by the year mid 2040's or so aircraft carriers would possibly be semi outdated and a use of fast large hovercraft and stealth weapons could be the next tech or so
- For drag racing, can I go with a smaller rim on the back with a bigger tire and keep my 19 on the front? 2008 Ford Mustang Right now i'm sitting at 245/45r19 fronts and rears 275/40r19 The reason for asking is because i can't find a drag radial or Slick that fits my rim?
