DING DING DING, you just nailed it buddy. Couldn't have said it better myself. I too, love the S65 (A LOT, one of my top 5 favorite engines) but damn, the S65 nuthuggers need to get over themselves already. This is the same stupid argument that happened when the following cars evolved and in every case the successor was a superior vehicle in all regards, primarily performance:
E46 S54 I6 to E9X S65 V8
E90 N52 I6 to F30 N20 turbo 4
E6X M5/6 S85 to F10/F12 M5/6 V8 S63
R3X GTR RB26 I6 to R35 VR38 V6 TT
These are just some of many examples. Usually when huge automotive companies like BMW, MB, Audi, Porsche, Nissan, Toyota etc. develop cars, they ensure that the next generation car exceeds it's predecessor in every aspect.
