Ditto, but I doubt it will happen. The thread itself has become well beyond pointless in relation to it's original topic but the mods will most likely allow its continued existence because A) they secretly enjoy the pointless VS debate, and/or B) the thread has become so huge they (and others) want to see how long it can be kept going and how large it can grow. Totally pointless but....

There. I've gone and did my part to contribute to its growth.

Previous experience shows that if they lock this thread, it will take 1 week for another one to pop up. Having this thread open means they can contain all the V10 vs PSD arguments to a single thread instead of 20 different threads with 20 different names.

Besides we still get people who jump on here and require education, one way or another.

Easy enough to close those threads that pop up and if someone needs educating, they can read and search a locked thread. There is no good reason to leave this one open other than what has been suggested earlier.

Roll on, crappy thread...roll on!

Man, how many times am I going to have to get this thread back on track?

My PSD is better than your V-10.

Just because the 6.2 has 2 plugs per cylinder and burns gas doesn't mean it is going to perform like the hemi any more than saying "your psd burns diesel fuel just like a jetta" is going to make them perform in a similar manner.

Just because it's a majority doesn't make it right, and I question that 80% figure in the first place

Just add two more cylinders and I will agree!

I wonder who voted Doge "The truck of the year 2010"?
