Personally I don't see where needing twice as many valves, 4 times as many cams, more weight, larger package equals efficiency. I really don't don't even know why those engines are being compared. Compare the 5.0 to the new lt1. The lt is not in camaro's yet but we all know it will be. Hopefully the 5.0 makes more power by then......it's gonna need to.

Honda guys are the biggest ones when it comes to HP/Liter and you're always bringing up hondas.....
Physics starts to jump in and just because you have a 2.0 liter making 200 hp doesn't mean the 4.0 is gonna make 400 hp......HP/Liter has to be the dumbest argument there is...

hp per liter or however someone wants to measure efficiency of an engine makes zero difference to me. Run what you brung and hope you brought enough. Personally, I prefer to bring more than enough.

Nobody said better platform. A more efficient and superior design, absolutely. I respect the hell out of what those cars are capable of, always have.

BTW There are 2.6-2.7l honda engines making over 400whp N/A.

I never said anything about anyone having a superior platform. Yes, they Honda K-series is a more efficient motor than any 5.0, LS, or V10! Does that mean it's better? I already said no. Does that mean the platform is better? No...and I figured people would be able to deduct that from my last post.
It's not internet math...it's simply physics. Power per liter has always been the benchmark on judging what the efficiency a motor is. But that's where it ends. It doesn't really mean that much in the big scheme of things.

Bro that is one of your problems with a lot of your arguments on here...you don't read what people type!

Furd guys don't want nor like the weight evened ......I'm proof of that. Look how they yak about my weigh reduction. Fucked up part is I'm still 200-300lb off a fox weight.
Other than that....some of these guys need to lay the crack pipe down.
BTW oneslow.....your 5.0 times are very optimistic from what I have seen. ....atleast at my track. Very high 12's to low 13's would be average. If your gonna use those times you might as well look up record stock runs for both cars. But that may not bode well for you. But atleast we would see the true potential of each car.

It is actually a true statement. I owned a couple nice ones wayyyy back in the day
