[s-cars] Audi S5

[Taka Mizutani]

You're calling every engine with the same block as the same engine, that's
my contention.

The Audi V-8 from 1990 has the same block as the RS4. What's your point?
They're nowhere
near the same engine.

A Silverado 4.8 and the Corvette LS-7 have the same block (OK, one is iron
and one alloy).
They're nowhere near the same engine.
