First, you must define perfect and only one thing is perfect, so the term for this engine under discussion will be "near perfect".

It should be free.
It should have a flattop power curve.
It should make 300 hp on cheap gas.
It should have an adjustable idle. Smooth for commuting and lopey for cruise nights.
It should have exhaust cutouts. Noisy for cruising. Quiet for commuting.
It should have lots of chrome.
It should last 100K miles.
