    No, they wont understand why German engineering took 6/7 categories.

    Leave it to Subaru to fly the Japan flag.

    Direct injection>>>>the rest
    The way you say that, it almost sounds like an unfair advantage.

    Read more than you'll be willing to.

    You can see the VR was considered but in it's category, it deserves mention but the simple genius behind the S65B40.

    Even though older BMW engines might have thicker walls for FI and capable of creating more power, this engine is designed to make power the right way and pass emissions and not break decibel levels.

    My opinion of a street car differs than most of the people on this site. I've had cars that "can't pass emissions" or "tuned to the point they arn't reliable"

    Most of these new production engines are meant to be fully capable from the factory. That's not saying the cant ever take more tuning but look at the VR38. What will more power really give it?

    One thing i want to add is that this award doesn't only praise hp and torque but overall efficiency so fuel mileage is important as well.
