thats not including twin turbo r32s which can own all : (
HP/Liter will tell you how efficient an engine is, but it's not comparison to determine how fast a car is. People fail to factor in weight into the equation.
Power to weight is a much more important ratio to consider.
HP per liter of an S2000 = 120/liter
HP per liter of a C5Z06 = 71.05/liter
Power to weight of a stock S2000 = 11.81HP per lb.
Power to weight of a stock C5Z06 = 7.69HP per lb.
BigPoppaHurtm, we still on for this weekend if the weather permits?
Something is wrong with your numbers.. the more hp/lb is most definately the z06 by a long shot, but your figures show different.. I am assuming you don't actually believe that, otherwise the z06 would be slower than an s2000Whereas the z06 is over 2 seconds faster, lol. Perhaps you confused HP and LB's, but I did not break out my calculator or even look at the numbers well enough to check.
Let's also look at this whole efficiency stuff in a different aspect. How much fuel does a motor use to make said power. That would be efficiency.. how much in, how much out. I think the competition would be fierce in this round.. even with the z06 making 400+ hp.
Peace,

Weight/Power=HP per lb. Weight divided by horsepower equals horsepower per pound of vehicle.
C5Z06 - 3,116lbs/405hp=7.69hp per lb
S2000 - 2,835lbs/240hp=11.81hp per lb
Perhaps you confused the HP per liter with power to weight?
whoa nope nope nope wrong.
if what you say is true the vette has 24,000 hp. and the s2k would have 31,000 hp. i don't think so.
it's pounds per hp. vette is 7.69 pounds to 1 hp
s2k 11.81 pounds to 1 hp

You're right. My bad.

it's a simple question of weight ratios a five oz bird cannot carry a one pound coconut. it simply cant be done.
