let's see.. was on the formula SAE team and came in 3rd when you were 6 years old. Built and raced rotory 13B's and 12A, honda B18C's, 4G63's and a grand national motor all during that time.

You still haven't answer the question, have you driven a vette? Also, how do you define efficiency?? HP per liter as in volumetric efficiency? The debate could go quite a few ways. MPG efficiency? If your motor makes any torque, drivetrain loss and diff ratios etc will play less into but you CANNOT take that out of the equation.

Ever heard of the term sum of parts is greater than the whole? If you are only considering motor, then you have completely missed the boat on a great design.

V, you killing me buddy.. 2 semesters only and you consider yourself an expert?? That's like watching 2 hours of porn and saying you now know everything about women....

Way OT: I've watched my share of skin flicks/pics, chased and been with
females for 46+ years, and I still don't know everything about women.

Let's leave the tech let alone this time...it's beaten it to death. Yes, I've driven a regular Vette, GTO and Monaro. Nice, but doesn't completely do it for me. Still...my first post was addressing a comment regarding power and never condemned the vette. Diff strokes..

Was I hasty/impulsive in churning out that reply? Yea.. but the point is that don't assume I/anyone-my-age is blowing sunshine at you just cuz we're young. There's plenty of us who don't just make our cars pretty and turn up the music. Me an expert..hell no!! and don't claim it.

Chicks..no amount of experience will help get verything about them. Don't bother bringing logic/reasoning to the table there cuz that'll only make your head hurt.
