I guess I forgot about that engine because it isn't in a Mercedes anymore, but nevertheless it is a brilliant choice!

Re: Engines - Your Allstar List Please!

Its hard for me to list a list but the M5 E60 and M3 E46 is on the list. Won more engine awards than any other engine so obviosly its on my list. And the CGT engine should also be included in my list.

Re: Engines - Your Allstar List Please!

I'd pick the F430's engine, the W12 and 2.0TFSI of VW, and maybe the V12 in the LP640... I'll create a complete list later.
