hp/liter doesnt show efficiency either.. that would be gas usage by output of hp. Not related to hp/liter.. sorry.
in reality it shows nothing.. nothing at all
it doesnt show weight of the engine, gas mileage, performance of the car, or even emissions.. Its useless. Its a claim used by cry babies with a shitty car that have to point to an imaginary number to make them feel better.

edit.. and those magazines u listed quote cross drilled rotors as a performance object.. so your barking up the wrong tree with that comparison.
Although you have to agree that Carrera Cabriolet we ran across in Houston sure gave us a run for our money... but then again I don;t think it was HP/l, but rather the Porsche drivers sheer willingness to be an absolute brainless reckless fuck and pull some to the stunts he did...

Did a drop-top Porsche really beat us up that on-ramp? hehehe
