I don't get it, how can it be a good motor if it doesn't have 100hp/L, 4 valves a cylinder, and DOHC???

Fair enough but...
BMW’s 5-litre V10 has again been crowned the best engine in the world for the second year in a row at the International Engine of the Year Awards 2006 held at Engine Expo in Stuttgart, Germany.

Yeah, but not really. Did you read what Wouter posted?
The LS7 is better in every measurable aspect.

We do a bit. We have the luxury car tax on anything over $70K (IIRC)

Can either the BMW or Chev engine blocks be simply/cheaply bored (or even honed?) when worn, like a Falcon motor eg, or do they require expensive liners or otherwise be a throwaway?
Fanatic
I'm pretty sure the walls in the LS7 have been pushed to the limits of what's safe without hitting water jackets. I don't think boring it is a good idea.

The corvette engine win is far closer to a production engine than the Audi. The corvette has also been as dominant as the Audi for a longer time. The Audi engine is fantastic.....................but not nearly as relevant to what people can buy.

I honestly don't think brining up racing engines is any sort of decent argument.
You should be comparing them strictly stock -vs- stock. That's what counts, because that's what we're actually comparing.
