I thought it meant that Canada knew Victorias Secret. I still have yet to figure it out.

Nevermind, I got bored and googled. Victoria Day Sovereign's birthday The Sovereign's birthday has been celebrated in Canada since the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901). May 24, Queen Victoria's birthday, was declared a holiday by the Legislature of the Province of Canada in 1845. After Confederation, the Queen's birthday was celebrated every year on May 24 unless that date was a Sunday, in which case a proclamation was issued providing for the celebration on May 25. After the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, an Act was passed by the Parliament of Canada establishing a legal holiday on May 24 in each year (or May 25 if May 24 fell on a Sunday) under the name Victoria Day.

Yessir - www.solen.ca has 'em. Minimum order is $25, but I'll just take the $5 service charge for not meeting that, unless I find something else I might need. I'll place my order tomorrow, holiday up here today. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Which I have been meaning to ask, what exactly is Victoria Day?

Greatest Passenger Car Engine of last 25 Years
See this is where we differ. I am only interested in straight line performance. I would never use a car like yours to the extent it was built for

I'm speaking in terms of new. Even if used is in play, I'm sure your M5 was more expensive than one can find an LS1 equipped F-body in similiar condition for. I am in no way offended by any of it. I just understand we have different ideas of what we want.

Sorry but I read your definition of simplistic as antiquated. Fancy OHC isn't so fancy since it has been around for more than 40 years. Pushrods are not a good idea, more moving parts, less capable at higher rpms, and just an older less efficient design. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The LSX motors are hardly inneficient. Higher RPM isn't always good. I would rather make my torque down low. Of course not all cars or styles of racing benefit from a torquey low end. But for my day to day necessities having it in the low end is better. Fancy doesn't equal new btw. I also mentioned DOHC not just OHC. DOHC has more moving parts than pushrods and more weight in most case when similiar dsplacements are compared. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The key is effeciency, both in power curve and emissions. OHC (or D) are more efficient than any pushrod engine ever could be. The "new" motors have direct actuation on their valves and no cam at all, which is the automotive manufacturers only cost feasible way of creating an engine that is more effecient than the overhead cam design. The only real benefit to an auto maker of pushrods is a cheaper engine to produce, nothing else but for some companies that is more than enough reason to bring something into the marketplace. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So you don't think the LSx series deserves any props? whatever. I also enjoy the cheapness of it. The aftermarket parts for it also remain cheap and very plentiful. Not everyone can afford an M5. That much technology isn't always necessary. Of course BMWs and Porsches, ferraris, etc. are fascinating vehicles, but for people who can't afford such extravagance, the Corvette, GTO, and F-bods are a great performance deal for them. When deciding what the Greatest Passenger Car Motor of last 25 Years is, you have to factor in a cost as part of the equation to. What good is a motor/platform for a passenger car if only a select few will be able to purchase it?- ugly mugs!
