    You're right. We're talking about efficiency (input vs output)

    The M5's ECU has three 32-bit processors that perform 200 million calculations per second.

    i think one of the main reasons for the V10 winning are the P400 and P400S settings. I think its a damn good idea. Hasn't Nissan won this a shit load of times with the VQ35 3.5 V6? Or is that another engine award?
