Talk:Ward's 10 Best Engines

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

changed Porsche 3.2 & 2.7 from DOHC to SOHC

Porsche did not use DOHC on production 911 engiens until the type 996 engines

it did use DOHC on race engines like the 906 and on the 959 wich was a special case and on the 356 Carrera (flat 4 engines )

Ward's said it was a DOHC in 2000, 2001, and 2002. I don't know what to tell you - I'll have to do some more research. --SFoskett 19:31, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

Update: Every resource I can find says the Boxster used a DOHC engine in 2000, 2001, and 2002. These are the winning engines. I have reverted SOHC to DOHC unless other evidence is presented. --SFoskett 19:40, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

It is kind of discussing how Wards always have to play the political game and award some american engines that have little merit and are technologically outdated. Dr Varcisolo 22:42, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

1 my bad
2 Probable error
3 criteria
4 How about
5 I'd hate to see the worst
6 Missing an entry

[edit] my bad

saw 2.7 flat six, and immidiately though 911 2.7 which is older true, the boxster has DOHC

i added Boxster , to avoid future confusion

[edit] Probable error

There are 11 engines listed for 1996. Can't seem to find any external list, so I don't know which is the erroneous addition.

[edit] criteria

I'd like to see someone determine Ward's criteria for judging the 10 best engines, and include that in the article. Any ideas? Crabapplecove 00:21, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How about

Going to www.wardsauto.com or subscribing to the magazine?

If this list of mediocre Americocentric garbage are the best powerplants they can come up with...then it speaks volumes about the Ward's as a publication
