When you can get this out of a stock bottom end M60 why do people want S62´s?

Thats a turbo M60 with stock bottom end but running E85 fuel.

In the UK some good old Meth injection or methanol fuel blending would yield the same results.

The S62 would have broken by then, How many 800hp S62´s are there? less then 3 or 4 maybe?

The cylinder walls are very thin and compression ratio very high, yes, so it requires lots of money :)

And does it make any sense - no! :D
