Today, dollar for dollar, is the 318 faster than the 340 ???

some will, I'm not :) Now you can see why threads can't get past the first page on topic..... What could be a fun, and maybe help somebody even make an educated build for their future project usually gets wiped clean by post 21

I'm 100% with you here - I wish people would stick with the OP's intention of the discussion, instead of trying to (and usually succeeding) skew the discussion from the original point and intent. It's just basic courtesy and good will. of course, opinions are allowed but they are at the expense of the original idea. Now the thread has moved from 318 /340 dollar for dollar build comparo to bringing in 360s/ magnums and 440s !
