Apples to apples:
The R35GTR is twin turbo 126 hp/L
A twin-turbo 366 SBC hits over 1000hp or greater than 176 hp/L

1003>1000 
Give it a year and we'll see if the GT-R can push past 1500 whp.
The only person being stalked in this thread is the vendor... We were talking about the reasons why Archie's cars under perform.... remember.

.....because that's certainly what I was doing... harassing SBC owners. Are you projecting? Haha[This message has been edited by Emc209i (edited 03-16-2008).]

2004 GTO LS1 6-speed, 5.7L puts out 350 HP (61HP/L), and can was rated at 17 mpg city / 29 highway.
2006 Solstice 2.4 Ecotec 5-speed, puts out 177 HP (73HP/L), and was rated at 20 mpg city / 28 highway.
The "stoneage" engine makes twice the horsepower and still returns similar fuel economy, in a much larger car. The Solstice manages to put out more HP/L, but uses almost the same amount of fuel as the V8 to do it.
But the real question is, WHY DOES THIS MATTER? |
|
The Fuel Economy on the Solstice 2.4 is because of the pig rich GM tune. As an ecotec owner I know this, because I drive one. Let's see an LS1 with a new tune put out 35+ Miles to the Gallon.

OMG people, let it all go. A buddy of mine owns a Dodge Viper and my MR2 got to sit in the same garage as this before mentioned Viper. Can my car beat his? Hell no! Do I give two *****? Nope! Why? Because he likes his car and the way its setup and I like mine for the same reasons. So if you V8 guys/gals like V8's, so be it. You V6 and 4 banger folks like V6's and 4 bangers, so be it. Who gives 2 craps how much HP someones V8 is putting out? I am more than happy with my 137WHP/103 Torque 4AGE N/A. I get 35 miles to the gallon and it will still beat the snot out of the honduh ricer kids!
Oh and to the tard who is making fun of someone else's car in that video....grow up, it is his car and if he likes the power it's putting out then thats his money well spent. The cars owner and only its owner has the right to decide what engine is put in and how much power it produces!

You're kind of detracting from our scuffle... You can only contribute in this thread if you stir up at least two arguments at a time...
