[QUOTE="E46Fanatic, post: 123504, member: 81"] The difference is the critical operating range of the V8 vs V10. Yes you are right, that the V8's vibrations happen over a higher rev range compared to the V10s (12-14+k rpms if I remember for the V10 and around 16k for the V8). What this means is that to extract drivability and usability power, the V8 has to ideally operate at higher rpms compared to the V10. Hence you will see the V8s being pushed higher up the rev range away from its critical vibration range to give it better drivability. [/QUOTE]
