Default S2000 has 5th best engine

Just been looking at the RX8 site and noticed that the S2 got 5th best engine but it was beat by the 1.3 from honda!

RX8 was first, looks damn good car for the price.

For a list of which engines came where check out:

Interesting!

What I can not seem to find - incompetent twit that I am - is what parameters they used to judge????
