Ah, Kurt...you just can't let it go, can you?
There's less differentiation between the N63 and the S63 than there is between the N55 and the S55. Would you suggest calling the S63 the N63iS as well? The M5 and M6 are pretty awful, too, huh?
If they were to drop the S63 into the M4 would you still complain? You just need to accept that this is the engine, and the results are very good. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Ford is making a V8 that looks like it will blow the S65 out of the water. Maybe you should give it a shot.
