This thread is hilarious! My wife drives an 07 SI with a few bolt ons and I drive a H/C L/T LS1. I give her a lot of s#@t about her "ricer" but in reality it's an amazing little car. Show me any American stocker that can even come close to 1hp/liter. There's no such thing.

I don't need to show you anything. You've already shown us how much of a closet ricer you are. Check out the bolded part of your post if you need a little hint.

That little ricer math equation means jack ****.

I don't know about my LSX? Yeah.. Sure.. Only reason why i'm posting in tech everyday.

As for seeing me.. Eh.. I'll be at firebird on friday if you want to hookup. I'd love to get some runs in against an LS1 even tho i'm going to get my *** kicked. TT is a few weeks off but i'll let you know when i get it installed

the older ones actually dyno at about 200 to the wheels which makes them just shy of 100 horsepower per liter i believe but the new ones have a 2.0l engine that makes 260 horsepower.

If only hp/l meant anything in comparing engines...
