Has anyone seen the ad's about how the engine is made in a type 3 clean room (or type 2 or A or something to make it sound important) and they build it all by hand. basicly the ad is talking about how the engine is so well engineered and built by hand for the utmost precision. and that your engine isn't made in this kind of environment that your engine is inferior.

all of that image is a crock, sure its built by hand in a clean room but it is so inconsistan of a manufacturing process that some Rv36deTT (v6 in th gtr) dyno at 440hp and some dyno over 500hp, to be so inconsitant with your engine building is a joke. makes me think its not as well engineered as they want us to believe
