lol, read my post on the last page..... Im not talking about the efficiency of how much petrol you put in compared with the waste products you get out..... Im talking about performance efficiency. I think TT said something about a 500cc engine producing 500hp, which is unrealistic, but that would be an example of a very effcient engine.

What is it with everyone relating HP/litre with ricers??
Efficient in what.. it isnt efficient in anything.. size of the interior capacity versus hp shows nothing.
If you want to argue size of the engine.. then not only are you still off, but several smaller per liter engines are larger in stature in the engine bay.

Tell me one thing it does in the real world better.. just 1.. Sorry.. but that isn't efficiency. Its a made up number.. its like arguing i sweat 1 ounce less a mile then you do in a run.. it has no effect on anything.. not the calories I consume, not how fast we are, nothing.
Its a pointless number people use to make themselves feel better.. always has been always will be.. The magazines you listed cater to those people...

Hell next thing you know youll start argueing hp per big mac the designer ate.
