M3, M roadster/Coupe, M5, M6 all have 100HP/liter or better, but they also have 330, 400/500 HP too. Theres other cars that do it N/A as well, but why bother? "Okay, you've reached 100/L, congradulations, now what?"
My car running easily surpasses that, and the fact that it HAS HP and TQ are whats cool about it, not so much how much HP it makes for L of displacement.
I wast responding to the post that honda is lacking technology, they set industry standards on a regular basis. I can't say for certain but wouldn't vvt or whatever it's called and most similar setups derived from honda technolgly(like I said don't quote me)? How them headgaskets treating ya in the supra?
PS I do agree, they are just POS small motor cars........but they serve daily duty better than anything else for me.
