This conclusion is fallacious for the following reasons:

1) You did not respond to my inquiry above. I said "I value A more than B". How does what I said amount to "I value A > *"?

2) I've already responded by saying that a gas engine, and Chevy V8 in particular, has more aftemarket support (i.e. service, parts, "tuners", racing series, etc.) than any diesel. If you dispute my assertion, please say why.

3) For reasons above, I choose gas over diesel. How can "I value torque more than HP" be reasonably concluded that I would be driving a diesel? Please explain your reasoning.

I am not one of those people, i.e. I don't care how high the engine revs. Therefore, I do not tire you, at least not for getting pissy when my car runs out of breath at 5k.

Reasonable enough?
