@vladberca. I understand and agree. But some engines are more reliable than others. I love the 458 Ferrari engine to death with 570BHP @ 9000rpm from a 4.5 litre V8 NA, but to drive it every day for 20,000 miles? I want to, I really do. And I know this is a weird example.
Edit: For everyday use I'd prefer a 7.0 litre V8 from the C6 Z06 Vette, just 2 valves per cylinder, 512BHP(EU) @ 6300rpm...

My ex 1.8 turbo 5 valve Audi S3 engine with about 270BHP(back in 2000) was blown to pieces because not so strong internals, more or less, but damn it was fast....

Cheers
Robin
