I understand that and I personally try to follow proper netiquette. If the owner or moderator wants to enforce netiquette here then let them handle it. I just don't like seeing other members acting like netiquette police and stomping on other members in public. I don't know if they are just trying to "up" their total posts or just trying to make someone else feel stupid. However, that's just my humble opinion.
There is a very small minority of participants who seem to feel the need to razz the rest of us. I try to just ignore it but every now and then it gets to me. I guess some folks just have a lot of time on their hands.

Pardon me if I comment on this "dead horse thread", but did you all notice the above, and from who it is from? I mean, with all due respect, this guy's in sales (of Corvettes in particular), works in Detroit, and has said (is he kidding?) there isn't going to be a DOD engine in the '08 Corvette.
Anyone care to comment on Rick's remark? I think it may be important.

"GM's DoD system allows an engine to use maximum power whenever it's needed without any discernable hesitation or pause (test-drives showed that to be true) and then puts half of its cylinders on standby when they're not required. In urban settings, which always require more gas, this system will deliver fairly modest fuel economy gains. But in the steady-speed driving that happens on multilane highways, the fuel economy gains from DoD should be more impressive, especially under 70 mph.
DoD will be standard on both the 3.9 V6 and the 5.3 V8, and GM expects it to be a big part of its future powertrain lineup. Indeed, the company expects that there'll be two million DoD-equipped vehicles on the road by 2008, so we can expect it on even more engines in the near future."

See how some of this info. grabs you. Still nothing in stone about the engine, probably until the C5-C6 bash next month at the NCM.
