As a reference, the normal C6 Vette with 400 HP that weighs just 40 lbs more than the GT3 does 0-60 in 4.5, 0-100 in 9.8 and 1/2 mile in 12.8 @ 114. C & D's conclusion was that the GT3's 3.6 is UNDERRATED at 415 HP, meaning it may be making even more than 115 HP/liter. Based upon the acceleration numbers I'd say 440 HP is more like it, which is a staggering 122 HP/liter!! If Porsche can do it, then I fully expect BMW to have their 4 Liter making at least 440 HP!!:rocks:

Displacement
It is more about displacement and mass of reciprocating and rotating components. I don't know the record holder for V8 on hp/l but the smaller the displacement the higher the revs and the higher the hp (of course assuming all other engineering top notch). Just look as 1 liter superbikes, ~15k rpm and ~180 hp/l.

The 997 GT3 is very impressive, but it also goes to show what a monster the E46 M3 CSL is. Look at n'ring times for both cars published by Sport Auto. CSL is only :02 slower despite the fact that it's down 50+ hp (it does weigh less but only by approx 20 kilos) It'll be interesting to see what the new M3 brings to the table. -Adam |

The F20C has a 9000 RPM redline, and a 240 HP power peak at 8300 RPM. I'd guess the new SAE power ratings for that engine would put it at 235 HP or so, but still the highest for a production car.

118 MPH trap is about what an F430 Ferrari with 483 HP and the same weight does (depending on the test).

This engine design would not work in a 3000 lb car - it would never get off the line.
