It's like arguing one set of head phones (costing a hundred dollars more) is better than another set of headphones when we could not ever tell the difference.

I bet no one could drive a Z and tell that this one is a better Z than the next because this one has synthetic in it.
Also remember the cast iron block engines are more forgiving. And synthetic tastes better too!!
