to the 600hp Vette lovers salivating that it gets 100hp/liter...
big deal.

the new 911GT2 gets 147hp/liter...from a twin-turbo 3.6 liter, 6-cylinder
engine.

Are you freakin serious?

Try 187 Horsepower per Liter!
1012 RW HP with a twin-turbo 5.4 liter...

we're talking about production cars here...

that being said, the new 911 GT2 at 147hp/liter (530bhp from a TT 3.6 liter,
6 cyclinder) blows everything else away By-Far...including the Enzo and
LP640

the new 911 GT2 is also special because it's the first 911 to:
crack the 200+ mph
have over 500bhp

and it's the fastest yet, at 0-60 in 3.6 seconds

...Question?

>> to the 600hp Vette lovers salivating that it gets 100hp/liter...
>> big deal.

Who is?

You were talking about some paltry 147hp/liter.  That ain't sh.t, I was
setting you straight.  Questions?

lol - you're an idiot...

i was comparing this, the 911 GT2 to the ZR1 'Vette...in regards to
hp/liter..since it seems every article on the web about this 600hp Vette
talks about it acheiving 100hp/liter

No Lawrence Lugar, you are the Idiot.  You come into the Corvette forum
spewing some stupid sh.t about some ugly a.s foreign car trying  to stir up
some trouble.  You made some asinine statement about horsepower power per
liter, like that by itself means anything, I blew your small man sh.t out of
the water with yet another American made car, and you just can't leave well
enough alone...   Whaaa....

Go back to your Volkswagen forum, they might be impressed...

why are you so bitter?
i was just stating the facts. about the ZRI in comparison to another car.

me stating the facts, makes you mad...?
you want the Vette to only shine on the best of lights, you can't stand to
hear about it taking a backseat?

...you have issues if you get this riled up.

I'm not sure who is the real idiot here.   Do you expect that coming
into any car newsgroup and saying how a different car is faster or
better is going to go un-noticed?   And aside from stating the facts
(as you might say), what is the point... to try to educate or rile up
feathers so to speak?   I'm thinking the latter.

Besides stating numbers, it takes more than hp to win a race.  But of
course you know this, right ?

I don't recall anyone hanging out a "trolls welcome" sign.  It's obvious why
this dipstick posted here.  Let's all let it go.

I think you missed the point. the 100hp per litre is for a push rod
engine. not an OHC exotic engine. The fact GM can do this without
having to build a 4 valve per cyl OHC engine is pretty remarkable.
And how much is that Porsche as compared to the Corvette?.
I have owned 2 Porsches and 3 Corvettes I can only afford used
Porsches (Not counting the Boxters) I can afford NEW Corvettes.

:>...Question?

Do you own a Porsche at all?    You didn't a month ago.  

It's nice to brag about cars you don't own and will never own,
Lawrence.

i actually like the ZR1; this post was not meant to dog it.
i think the ZR1 will put all the other supercars out to shame - it looks
very promising.

620bhp.
215mph top speed.
0-60mph 3.5 seconds.
3200lbs curb weight.
$100K, which seems like alot initially - but compared to others in its
class, it's a bargain by-far.

Who gives a rodents rectum about HP/l. With gizmos and wizmos any
freshman engineer can play "dial-a-number". HP/LB/$ is the impressive
engineering with a 100k mile warranty and 6 oil changes for a
maintenance schedule. When you look at real enginnering, nothing else is
in that class.
