    I'm guessing that's slightly ironic, considering my handle

    Haven't you got any Vipers around your way? More proof that the V10 isn't that much of an awesome engine...!

    Correct, Kevin. If your raging side is your love for Euro, that is.
    Lol @ your stereotypes.
    You live in america, you must be surrounded by vipers!!!
    And yes that is true around me.

    I <3 Euro but I don't <3 being called Kevin. Unless my mom renamed me and forgot to tell me.

    Yeah, as for Vipers... I see one every couple of months or so.

    I didn't say that, slag I was wondering if he had any Vipers near him... similar price range to the 'Vette, isn't it?

    And we have about 8 of the old Vipers blaring their way around within 7 miles of me. Yay.

    Tough, it's your new name.

    If I had a LS7 in my basement, I'd have the Golf on jackstands trying to figure out a way to make it fit in the bay and RWD... Euro + American muscle = ftmfw.

    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    There sure are a lot of bitches on this forum. Yeah, why would I want to better understand someone elses opinion. Something must be wrong with me. I must be the f*cked up one.

    No one has CLEARLY stated their reasons for wanting the M5. Or, maybe they did and I missed. Can I get a summary?

    More like once. I'm not trying to create any havoc. I'm asking a question. You want me to create havoc because you [/i]want [/i] me gone. Envious, you are of me.

    Probably just personal preference, then.

    You are the ****ed up one!

    I thought it was about the engine, not the car?

    You said it, not me.

    Fine, here's my reason. Because I like a high-revving 10 cylinder engine.

    More like once. I'm not trying to create any havoc. I'm asking a question. You want me to create havoc because you [/i]want [/i] me gone.
    I don't care if you're here or not. I just think you have a personal crisis and you inflate your ego on forums, behind the safety of your monitor, to make yourself feel better.

    Envious, you are of me.
    Envious of what? Pun intended.

    I am, but I can't read a flawed mind.

    I AM my bread and butter. I am the reason I post on this forum. I do not care if havoc is created or not. I created this thread to seek people's opinion on the comparison between two engines. People siding with the LS7 has stated numerous reasons why they chose it over the M5's engine. People supporting the M5's engine have been "flaky". I asked for a summary or reasons from M5 engine supporters. Where is the "havoc"? You, and the people who responded like you, are encouraging havoc. If you or anyone else feels I am trying to create havoc, I'd prefer you ignore me and let someone else with a answer to my question respond.

    Your high-revving answer satisfies me. Can we stop the flaming now?

    Could be a person that likes a high revving engine with that kind of power delivery(and yea, that can actually make a big difference)...

    I have to say though, that you're trying to compare 2 very different engines in 2 very different cars which makes any objective comparation very hard indeed.
