I consider the debate between C vs. Assembly a very justifiable debate on
this list.  As a learner in this arena, I would like to know the differences
in using C and Assembly in fuel ignition systems because I too am starting
to build a electronic system for a Race Car at Ohio State and would like to
know why a person would use C or assembly in embedded systems.  Many people
have cast their opinions which has helped me in analyzing my choices.
Thanks everyone.
