I have heard many a designer quote "It's easier to make a quick car reliable, than make a reliable car quick" - Honda have showed this this year, their car is reliable, but it certainly isn't quick. It all about the enitre package at the end of the day.

what i believe is that performance and reliability go hand in hand...yu cant specifically make a reliable or performance oriented engine coz you have to get a stable mix of both....'2nd is the first loser' or whatever it was....pessimism flowing out of it.....
