Did not seem like a fierce nor heated debate between us. Sorry if I left you hanging. Not sure what sucking/jiving you are talking about either. We both acknowledge that each engine design philosophy has merits and I was quite clear to point out that many of my points in favor of a high rpm design were not applicable specifically in the M3 vs. Vette engine case. I'd clearly have to dive in to the LS3 in much greater detail to make any useful and valid comparisons directly vs. the M3 V8. Why don't you tell us your thoughts on why one is superior to the other (was it "in all regards" or "almost all regards")?
