6th for the LS7 as well. GM were the only company with two engines in the top 9. smile

Don't really agree on first place, especially when compared to an LS3...

The S65 is more expensive (to buy and maintain), bigger, heavier and more top heavy, makes less power, much less torque, seems to use more fuel (probably more due to the gearing as it hasn't got enough torque for long gears), sounds worse, has relatively little aftermarket support, is more German...

But then I suppose we are biased towards LS engines hehe

Either way, there is no way in hell that little 4 litre is better than the Merc '63' engine.
