I like the new 5.0 liter bmw v-10. 100hp/ltr from the factory. I also like the straight six M3 motors. The v-10 comes in a platform that just insnt going to see much as far as modding goes. The m3 engine is a proven beast. Much like the supra.
Not a big fan of american muscle. The new Vette is impressive when comparred to supercars. The ls7 motor is impressive offereing from the factory. But 7.0ltrs is huge. Its only making 72hp/ltr.
Typical import fan response, oh my car may have lost, but it has a better power weight ratio. Or, oh my engine may make less power, but it has a better power to liter ratio.
But I guess you could say domestic boys have the same thing, cept its just raw power, not some ratio. Lets see though, pro stock engines, 1250hp roughly, from 500cid. But if you want to say oh mine is still better, lets get some top fuel numbers in here. Lets see now, 8000hp out of a 500CID engine, thats 1000hp per cyl, damn, thats nearly what your little 4banger can produce as a maximum. Hell, this things blower takes more power to run then that engine makes. So, before you get cocky about your little engine, think about this big ones.
