I found all this pretty sad considerind our SRT6's put out 111 hp/ liter. Now thats impressive. Guess thats why our cars are so suprisingly quick, lol.
Any forced induction car will have a higher hp/l ratio, its like having extra cylinders without the reciprocating mass. Even for a supercharged motor 111 hp/l is a very impressive number, considering the vette z-r1's goal was 100 hp/l.
