some of my personal fave's are the motor from the 1970 Hemi Cuda, the Current RB36DETT (Skyline R34) Nissan Motor, Ferraris 3.6L Modena Motor, Bugattis W-16, the Last Gen Audi S4 TTV6 and the Small Block LS6

My heart is with the 5.0L/302 Windsor from Ford, but mad props to GM for the 350 smallblock and Toyota for the 2JZ
Lets not forget the 4.6L in the 03 Cobra. People are running 9's on stock internals.

E46 M3 engine is nice but it s over tuned by bmw... they squeeze every HP possible out of that thing... my friend never go over 6k rpm because he s afraid to blow that thing..
But if u ask me would i get 1 if i have the $? yes.
imo, best engine should be N/A... I like the S2k engine... not every interested in american muscle

Ferrari make the best engines out there hands down. They are always a good 10 years ahead with their technology.
Personally, I'd like to see Honda make a V-8. That would be sick. Probably beat the hell out of all those damned BMW's and Mercedes that are all over the road.

After reading gavriils post about the new V10 M5 engine from BMW. It certainly deserves a place up there too. if you haven't read that article yet I suggest it to you gear heads.

I don't see whats so special about the 5.7l Chevy... had many that were great, had many that blew up. LOL
If your looking at HP to $$ ratio, it's a real winner. In terms of technology I dunno...
Imagine where the rotary engine would be today if all of the auto manufacturers had been spending time on it...
lol, I'm just a HP slut. So my vote goes to HEMI, and not the regular dodge one. The custom blocks made for the top fuel drags!

SHIFT_over.so.I.can.see
we're forgetting about the legacy of the Mitsu. Evo. and the Subaru STi.
Both great WRC cars and wonderful engines to build upon.
I'd think that the best of engines should be chosen from the ones car makers decide to use in the racing whether it be F1, nascar, rally, etc... These are the best in the business at building engines and I'm sure they'd know what's cream of the crop and choose only from that.
