hp/cylinder is not accurate enough. hp/liter is the best way to compare things. so with ur theory a 2002 Z06 puts out 405 flywheel hp from a 5.7 powerplant. thats 71.052 per liter. if i use your earlier example of the 01 which has 385 thats about 67.543 hp/liter. a NON turbo supra puts out 238 hp(per your info) and i beleive they are 3.6 liters so thats 66.111 hp/liter. thats actually kinda close. considering they stopped making the supra back in 98... a 98 supra TT puts out i believe 320 which is 88.888 hpliter. considering the 2jz engine just craves boost like a mofo known to handle up to 30 psi with stock internals id say even tho im a chevy guy that we r actually a lil behind. u can make a supra a lot lot faster a lot easier than a v8 chevy. its just a built race car. and the 3s-gte engines the turbo mr2s have is basically its lil brother. the 3s-gte is used in the castrol supra(i think) and in the Escudo Pikes peak car which is awd 80psi 900+hp

chevy engines are no slouches either but GM still uses old technology mixed with new tech. toyota goes beyond that. i also think u r forgetting about the wieghts of cars. camaros mustangs etc with v8s literally do need v8s to be fast considering the heavy ass characteristics of those cars. imports are mostly lightweight compared to domestic cars. u should pick up the new edition of super street or something like that. A racing team from GM took GMs new ecotech engine which is a 4 banger and made with strict emissions in mind and on basically stock internals boosted it dynoed over 350 hp. they played with it a lil more forged internals etc etc and stock block made 600+hp. hows that for a 4banger GM engine!!!

these companies will just go back and forth. people are really partial to what kinda cars they like best. but even i must admit hondas fords etc can be made fast. hell any car can be made fast as long as u got the $$$$


BTW ur sig states u got a 94 camaro Turbo???? if u do u have to show us some pics dude. info on what turbo kit and stuff too!!!! later
