The 4B11 most likely will not beat the new BMW M3 Engine.

Yup, just like when I handed the judge in traffic court a whole $5.00 and said, "Go buy something nice for yourself and your kids." Then she kicked me out of the court. To this day, I don't know why she kicked me out. But I am positive it was because I gave her a wrinkled and old $5.00 bill. Some people just don't appreciate gratuity.

i know why the evo motor is on the list: it's pretty much better than most on the road.

my biggest beef is that it is a paltry 2.0l I4 and is rated at 16/24mpg, where as the MASSIVE 7.0 V8 on the new Z06 is rated at 15/24

W T F :shock:

Well, not really. What specificly are they looking for? Numbers? HP? Liters? Reliability? Modability? Sophistication? Build Quality?

You can't just throw out the Z06's numbers and say the X doesn't belong when there is all ^that^ to consider.
