[Number 3]

You are comparing apples and oranges here. A factory engine that meets emissions and is warrantied for 5 years 100,000 miles that makes LS9 power is a true engineering marvel. On pump gas no less.

Yep you can get a bunch more power for a lot less than 20,000 but I doubt it's steetable like the LS9, which is a ***** cat I'm told (confirm Junkie?) when tooling about town.

LS9 will fire up in the heat, in cold in the rain and in the snow.

So it's ok if you want more, but there is really no technical basis for knocking the LS9.
