I guess it's kinda like cars.  I once had a 1991 Ford Mustang with a 302ci motor
in it.  All I heard from the Camaro and Trans Am drivers, was how slow the
Mustangs were.  Wellll.......their Camaro's and Trans Am's had 350ci motors in
them!!

After owning the Mustang for about a year, I put a Ford 351W motor in it, which
is a 351ci motor.  Just to keep up with the "Jones".

You know not a single person wanted to race, or find out which 350ci motor was
faster........

I wonder why?

If you're going to compare something, make sure it's an apple to an apple, or an
orange to an orange.  :)
