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 |

Camouflaged speaking as well as mules....
Wow you guys are putting camouflage on more than just your cars. It is on your posts and language as well. What the heck am I missing here

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.
