There are too many moving parts leading to unreliability and extremely high cost of maintenance to give it a "best engine award."

AMC - bulletproof engines.
20V 5 Cylinder Audi. (forget model number) That engine is bullet proof.
Also, 4g63 from DSM is a personal fav (biased cause of the rally car)

2JZ-I-6 for smoothness, can be slow with 225hp, Twin Turbo for 320hp, Twin Turbo with BPU for about 400hp+ and single turbo for SKY'S THE LIMIT 1000 plus, without leaking any oil and as reliable as day one.
So it gets my vote. I can't say it's the best since I haven't driven all the cars listed.

i love the 4G63 in the Evo...
btw the SBChevy's are pimp and the old schoo Hemi's...
of course Skyline's and the Supra's are up on the top list as well...
this is just too hard of a decision

It weighs 50lbs more than the current z06. So about the same.

the man is correct.
Man those engines are sweet though. If you hone the engine real nice, i'm talking 4 angle valve jobs, new cams, maybe 1 mm oversized lifters, a waterless cooling system, ahhhhh, so great.
Even the stock 14b turbo it comes with is decent. These car are so easily modded.
I want to build a project one just for fun. Beating a mustang in your 4 cylinder talon is a great feeling. The rally car i have now is tuned for high horsepower yea, but its also made to be reliable. I'm running high fuel pressure and regulated air and even with the upgraded turbo i'm still not trying to pump up the lbs. of boost. If i did though, it would be real fun. Just a FMIC and i'm chillin.
And its not even ricer. AMERICAN MADE.
not that it really matters but, whatever.

I still think that the E36 OBD I are the best engines out for the M3 as far as reliablity and horsepower.
I've seen m3's at 180 K miles that still hold GREAT compression. So sweet.
