1. Audi DOHC 1.8T
2. Audi DOHC 2.7L Biturbo V6
3. BMW M54 DOHC 3.0L I6
4. Mercedes-Benz SOHC 3.2L V6
5. Ford 5.4L Triton SOHC V8
6. GM 6.6L Duramax OHV V8
7. Honda (F20?) 2.0L DOHC VTEC I4
8. Nissan VQ 3.0L DOHC V6
9. Porsche 2.7L DOHC H6
10. Toyota 1NZ-FE(?) 1.5L DOHC I4 Hybrid

Two engines that were on last year's list that didn't make it this year: GM LS1 5.7L OHV V8 & Toyota 1UZ-FE 4.0L DOHC V8.

The 2ZZ-GE, 1AZ-FE, 2JZ-GE and the 3UZ-FE were also tested, but didn't make the cut.

it's the LS6.

But I think they only test engines in current production cars, so that would mean the 2JZ-GTE wouldn't be considered.

JW, isn't the Supra in production in Japan still? Maybe they're only looking at engines here in the states?
