I am all for the leopard 2, the Germans know their tanking, and my uncle who served in the gulf war told me a story about how his Humvee was doing about 55 mph and to his suprise an M1 went screaming by. granted, those gas-turbine engines are a hoot, but it seriously reduces the M1's range.
which is why I would prefer the leopards diesel engine.

now there's going to be a big long argument about which tank is better hehe
