Default Best engine ever?

Wow, I have been reading posts on this site for so long, but this is my first time posting. Anyways, I have a 2001 A6 2.7t, would any of you agree with me that the 2.7 bi-turbo engine is the best main stream engine audi has ever produced?

Are we talking time relative? I vote for the 75hp 1471cc that come in my '74 Audi Fox. Seriously, my 10V I5 non-turbo went for well over 300k without being taken apart. Slow as hell, yes, but nearly bullet proof. On older forums, you would probably get a fair amount of votes for the turbo I5's (10v and 20v) as they wrote the book for Audi. Then again, the 4.2's have a strong following and the FSI....who the hell knows.

Default Yes, of course it's the best engine ever made. It was so good Audi

stop making it and started stuffing 4.2's in everything.
This ones for you, CL!

Default I lust after...

the RS6 biturbo 4.2. The new 2.0T and 1.8T are equally sweet. My dad's chipped 225TT hauls *** for 1791cc and one K04.

Default Sledge4.2 is pretty dead on.

I-5 in any variant and the 4.2L V8 in it's various forms would be my choice.
