hp/l is ricer math, plain and simple. Whats more important, weight and location of the engine relative to the car (lower in the car and closer to the center for better weight distribution), or the volume of the cylinders?


I've said it once and I'll say it again, if the mod motor was a GM creation it would be the bees knees and if the LSx platform was a ford platform (which well it basically is) it would be dog **** , I just don't get the brand blind fan boys.....
False. Gm guys would be waiting for the day the boat anchor mod motor goes out of production. Both the Camaro and Corvette would have been bigger and considerably heavier due to the said boat anchor, while being underpowered like the pusstang was.
As for the fanboy talk, no Mustang guy on here should even be thinking those words, none the less typing them. You guys took the time to join a GM forum to post failing arguments time and time again in the street racing section trying to defend the pusstang and making some of the most pathetic excuses Ive ever read.

The LS architecture IS the bee's knees. No one here has debated that. We just understand that there are other products out there from different manufacturers that are quite excellent as well. It's a big world out there bud, open your eyes.

If it's ricer math, then why is GM going through all the trouble to improve their design and make it more efficient for it's given displacement? Better call GM and tell them they're wasting their time

May want to tell your buddies to take your advice.

Increasing hp is not ricer math, increasing hp without adding weight is not ricer math, comparing two engines by hp/l is ricer math. Do I really have to spell this out for you???
If you have engine A and B making the same power and torque:
Engine A is more displacement, but lighter and smaller
Engine B is less displacement but heavier and larger, making it higher up in the engine bay and further away from the center of the car.
Put them both in the same exact car, which one will have better all around performance?
HP/L means nothing, HP/weight and physical size is what you want to compare for performance.
When you add mods to your car and increase hp, are you going faster because you make more hp/l or because you make more hp/weight?

HP/Pound has a much larger bearing on performance then HP/Liter. GM wins there for sure.

GM is trying to improve their designs because, unlike us, they are not focused solely on performance. Trust me, a factory 500ci smallblock with even just a modest cam would blow away any performance goals they set for a production car. It would get abyssmal MPG though, causing higher taxes, less market appeal, and making an expensive commuter.

Displacement was and still is King. You can make up some of the difference with boost and RPMs, but when it comes down to it if you do the same thing to the larger motor it will make more power and have better manners.

But its ok that ford as 4 times as many cams? Its ok that ford mod motors can rev higher? If anything those cancel out the pathetic displacement argument and im giving two reasons to your one...

I realize this.....and it's why I like the new 5.0. 3v's are poo.......open your eyes. If you like Mustangs trade that pos off on a 5.0 and sell the 3v to a girl. Make a great girl car.

Hio, wanna compare total sales since the beginning of the Mustang to the total sales of the Camaro? Firebird?

Facts suck. Suckity suck suck

Edit: Here's 93-01, the glory years when HiO was jacking off to a picture of a catfish in Car & Driver, I couldn't find 02:

MUSTANG/CAMARO sales

93: 114,228/ *39,755
94:*123,198/ 119,934
95: 185,986/ 122,844
96: 126,483/ 66,827
97: 100,254/ 95,812
98: 170,642/ 77,198
99: 126,067/ 42,098
00: 218,525/ 45,417
01: 155,162/ 29,009
(01 production stopped May 2001. 2002 had a lengthy run)

Total 1965-2001: 7,899,556/ 4,821,768

For the release of the 03 model year for the Camaro, GM used the same technology as James Bond's DB9 Vanquish, however due to technical difficulties, the vanishing technology could not be turned off once it was turned on
That's including the firebird numbers right?

Check the date on the article... There is far more information out there than that article but I don't have the time to scrape it all up (a lot was posted here, but most was over at cz28)... That article was one of the first revelations... other stuff came out after the contract was voided and the gag order was lifted.

This is just stupid. So the 20 hp/inch that a coyote has over an LS3 is overshadowed by the engine weighing 12 pounds more? Got it...

If you're so concerned about 40 extra pounds higher up in the car, hey the **** did you get a car with t-tops? Extra weight at the very top of the car is the WORST place to have it if we're going by your logic. Y'all are just being kinda foolish at this point. Bottom line, power/displacement IS important, anything that you state to the contrary is simply opinion. This isn't me being biased or ricer or whatever other title that you're going to label me with. It's a fact. I'm not in any way saying one motor is better than the other, just that one is doing more with less. Jesus.

This dude speaks the troof!
Nowhere...ever...ever, ever, ever did I say displacement wasn't king. Point being...take two engines...one making 80 hp/ci, one making 60 hp/ci. Give them equal displacement. Which one would you take?

The main thing I've gotten from this discussion was that if you bought an SS instead of a Z28, apparently you're a moron...?

HP per liter is some honda fan boy ****. The coyote and the 4v are great motors. What's the issue here?

No issue. Other than the fact that nobody here is willing to accept the concept that volumetric efficiency is important. Why do you ask? Lol.

Lol im retarded for bring up facts like you and other ford guys bring up hp/ci? Just think about that one for a second...

I even gave you an out but you wouldn't take it so who is retarded again? That be you, considering the higher rpms you can go the more hp you'll make hence why ford, lambo audi r8 etc... has small displacement engines making a lot of power.
