That's not true in all situations.
A small displacement FI car will most likely have a higher HP/L than a NA competitor in it's class and a simple $20 bleeder valve is all you're going to need most of time for significant gains.
Yes in terms of performance it's meaningless.
Since we're going wayyy of tagent, the point I was trying to make was: The GTR is worth it's cost. Modifying cars is expensive and if you were to try to build one a car that can match the GTR in every aspect you'd be hard pressed to do so.
HP/l is the "what am I paying for?" element, which coincides what I'm talking about: $/tech.
Don't take this the wrong way:
Do you own a heavily modified car?
And is the Current ZR-1 worth 50K+ for a blower/suspension/brakes over the base c6? The C4 ZR-1 and C6's were/are both halo cars and have their respective mark ups.
As far as the current LS3 making more power, sure it does but it still doesn't make more HP/L that the LT5 had and this is 16...
I guess that's directed towards me. I'm here to counteract the anandtech corvette fanboys.
As far as being new, I've been lurking anandtech wayyyy before you were around. Agn3d anyone?
Yes it's a shame the old ZR-1 had a damn good engine and they got rid of it for a cheaper engine that made less power. Why do that to your flagship car?
I'm not saying the GTR is a "god" car. I'm saying for it's $/tech and it's proven performance at the circuit it's worth it's money.
Um I guess you should look up the 1989 gtr.
_My point is_ vs American cars there was and still not a car that had the same tech at it's price point. The dsm still didn't have sleeveless block and dsg.
And your on the other side of the fanboy fence. I know americans like their big dumb push rods but come on.
To say the GTR isn't cutting edge is down right retarded, how many cars at its price point match its technology?
Let me know when the corvette counters with intelligent awd, a modern...
If pure 02 was beneficial, wouldn't we see oxygen kits instead of nitrous kits?
Well it turns out pure N2 isn't so useless., as it pull heat away. Without it, EGTs would go through the roof and preignition would be prevalent.
The page says it was a NY POST cartoon, did it also print in the Times?. The POST is a trash rag on the same level as faux news. I wouldn't think the Times would run that sort of thing.
