Very interesting considering these engines have very little in common. GM just wanted to beat the BMW V10 in power thats all because the LS9 doesn't share any of the BMW V10's engineering principles.

10 cylinders vs 8 cylinders
naturually aspirated vs forced induction
screaming rev hp vs low rev torque
OHC vs OHV

The only thing they do share is that magical 100hp per liter distinction. I have to give it to BMW it seems that when you look across the board they're tops in engines right now. Others have some really outstanding engines in their lineups, but BMW seems to have a distinct advantage/lead across the board. Take a bow diehard BMW fans.......
