Yes, it's "small block" in the literal GM sense but that's HUGE to EVERY other manufacturer.
And I get your point, I'm just NOT impressed with a motor that can't make 100hp/L NA when it's suppose to be a performance arm of a major German manufacturer. If 100hp/L isn't your cup of tea, that's fine, but I must also mean you have NO INTEREST in any of the cars I listed above... which would be sad for a car enthusiast.
And I NEVER said the AMG motor was crap. It sounds awesome and has tons fo torque the old fashion way, but there's nothing "special" about it in terms of tech or innovation.
