That was pretty funny! I couldn't figure out the point of this thread but your observation must be correct.
I wonder if his point is that the Maserati uses 8 bolts to hold it in place vs the Corvettes single bolt. Or is it that the C7's is dampened vs the non dampened balancer on the Masarati.
Quite frankly, I think Masarati decided to make their balancer double as a sharpening stone so that when your knifes are dull, you have a place to sharpen them. At least that way when you bring a knife to a gun fight, you can bring a sharp knife!

On both cars you have a "little shock" left of balancer. Is that just a cover that covers the spring for the belt tensioner, or some kind of active shock, to reduce vibrations, or help hold down the motor under load? active motor mount? I don't even know if they make such a thing, so I claim the rights to active motor mounts. What; welding a chain from the motor to the frame is not how everyone does it?

However the single giant bolt and press fit is a major pain in the ***, as I found out lately. Unfortunately, the multi-bolt design wouldn't fit on the LS/LT crank snout, as it has to be slim to fit through the gerotor oil pump.
As for the tensioners, they're just tensioners.
