Good point....but lets not hate on the "engine." I cant stand when you let your foot off the gas fast and the engine bucks in some cars. Lets take the M6's engine. 500hp 384lb of torque and it redlines to 8250rpms. The car weighs 4000lb and its still trapping at 118mph. Yes, I know that gearing, electronics, etc. play into that as well. Part of me wants to believe if the engine was weak it would perform to such a degree.
I'm not hatin. I am starting to hate that term though. I'm just saying these awards are kind of dumb.

Don't get me wrong, the v10 is quite badass, but I really don't like overengineering, point is to make more with less.
And the same could go for the AMG 63, 6.2 liter V8 engine. Lighter and smaller then the BMW V10. More power and torque as well.

Oh well...
