To bad...

3 awards for the Hybrid..:rolleyes: (what tuner wants one of those.)

1 award for the S2000... A sweet motor but out of some of our price ranges..

Wheres the new civic SI at?:rolleyes: :D

This is the one that matter for the most of us..

"Toyota's 1.8-litre VVTL-i engine, which powers the Celica GT-S, Matrix XRS and Pontiac Vibe GT, won the Best 1.4-litre to 1.8-litre award."

Hmph. I drove a Celica GTS - that engine is super-buzzy. I makes the rsx 2 liter seem like a big torquey v8.

For the displacement, the S2000 is the best engine out there. N/A L4 @ 240......amazing

Quick Question: is there any engine that isn't sc/turbo'd that makes a better litre to hp ratio??? s2k is 120 per litre.

Sure, you just have to think of higher-revving engines. Almost any bike engine will do it - for example:
Honda 929 = 150 hp, 0.929 L = 160 hp/L
Honda F4i = 96 hp, 0.599 L = 160 hp/L

or...
Mazda RX-8 = 250 hp, 1.30 L = 192 hp/L

i think they were talking about the piston power. if u get a rotary and compare it to a piston you need to double the displacement.

ohh btw the next engine is the m3 engine with 333hp and a 3 litre engine.

juvenile 06-07-2002 12:52 PM

man...soo many sweet cars you guys are mentioning...I'm beginning to dream again :yes: :bow: :bandit:

ChrisCantSkate 06-07-2002 01:12 PM

what about ferrari's and porsche, i know they have a very high hp/l ratio. i think the prosche was right behind the s2k. bikes will have the best though. or rc cars. those things have alot of power per displacment

ebpda9 06-07-2002 01:13 PM

don't mind me but what is an rc car ?

ChrisCantSkate 06-07-2002 01:28 PM

Kyle 06-07-2002 03:28 PM
