As they were working on the 94 just a little while ago, did anyone notice that plenum cover was from an S62 M5 V8 engine instead of the E9x M engine. I know that the prototype and GT's had been using the old M5 engine, but I thought at the end of last year they had finally made the transition. Happy to see that the S62 is still doing well in racing.

Edit: I see in the post above that it is indeed the S62 engine. Why is it preferred engine? I know in stock format, it's a more torquey engine, but it's also an engine from a decade ago.
