Did you just bump a 5 year old thread to say that the best motor made in the LAST 15 YEARS is an m50nv which was last made ... 22 years ago?
Your post is not relevant ... it wouldn't have been relevant 5 years ago either because even then that engine was 17 years old.

I do quite enjoy the S62 but I have doubts that it is as good as the S70/2 found in the McLaren F1.

My vote is for the s38 if the s62 isn't on the list.

Yeah, probably thatS38
You are comparing a mass produced V8 to a V12 engine specifically designed for racing applications?

I wasn't really comparing them, I was just stating that I doubt the S62 could really hold a candle to the S70/2.

The S70/2 couldnt hold a candle to the S62 in terms of reliability or streetability
