As I see it...

At low flow rates, European systems win. Thats why everyone touts them as "quieter", because you can use smaller pumps. Not sure how fans got ignored in that theory, but whatever.

At high flow rates, American blocks will win, while European designs don't gain anything.

That is the big difference and I can see how people can compare that to American vs German cars, as in, the American design is more about displacement than efficiency. I would tend to believe this if the European blocks gained from high flow rates, but they DONT. They sure do look nicer, they use smaller tubing, smaller pumps, and smaller rads, but I have NEVER seen any perform better.

I really can't wait for this.
