240hp / 2.0L
120HP per liter (Which btw is more power per liter than any other production car to date)
405hp / 5.7L
71hp per liter
But this is really comparing apples to oranges and has nothing to do with which is better or worse than the other I just wanted to make a more fair comparison
Horsepower @ rpm 240 @ 8300
Torque (lb.-ft. @ rpm) 162 @ 6500
weak ass torque numbers, and let me know when you get to 8300 RPM, I'll be taking a nap.
the 2004's are 2.2 liters btw.
