as i said; HP/Liter is a gay indicator of engine potential; if one wants to compare engines of similar power... it should be comparing weight, dimensions, rotational mass, durability/reliability, consumption/efficiancy.

eventually, i would hope that people stop with the whole hp/liter argument as it doesnt actually mean anything... its the engine as a whole that produces power... not just a section of it. its the other indicators that are important for design purposes... less angular momentum, less drivetrain loss, more reliability, better comfort in the cabin... better handling, more accelleration/stopping.
If u see there is no use from Hp\liter then don’t include every one Hp\liter is a very important indicator (not 2 u at least) which tells how compressed the engine is! I guess that’s enough to say.. I do agree there are many other things u gotta keep in ur mind but hp\liter is something important.. I dunno why Ferrari put a limit for there racing cars if u if u check u will find that all engine have nearly the same compression rate(Enzo=108 hp, F430=111, 360M=109 etc..)

And just to apply the Hp\liter indicator on the things u mentioned, if the Hp\liter was normal that means the reliability of the engine will be most likely good! If it wasn’t that much (80s) that means the engine will be very smooth while performing... of course I don’t mean always but most likely..

the engine is built by AMG, which means several things, including its going to be reliable... and its going to be German (not that its a bad thing )
U said: (is it that impressive engine wise since its built/tuned by AMG??? even Koenigsegg has costom fabrication for thier ford racing sourced engine.)

And I think its obvious that u meant pagani get the engine on a golden pl8 and throw it in the car as simple as that, and Koenigsegg has there own costum fabrications for there engine, well I wanted to tell u Pagani have there own stuff too! Only the block is built by AMG and Merc used the block in 2 cars only the SL73 (which wasn’t a hit as Merc expected and the CLK-GTR) and Pagani have there own stuff..

i said i like the Zonda F's exahust sound... but not as much as the CGT it imitates, and the Enzo's mad scream. any exhaust can be specifically tuned as its just a measure of pipe lenght/width. simple sound physics. i dont think i mentioned anything about a 4 cylinder engine?

i have tremendous respect for Pagani... and i would be lying if i said i wouldnt be excited to see it in person. its very fast; and there are no doubts about that. but... its not as good of a car compared with the porsche, but it is good.
well I can’t say much here what ur talking about is a personally opinion which I can’t change or can’t blame.. its about the exhaust length or width but trust me an exhaust is similar to a painting, u can tell and see a lot in, just like the exhaust the Zonda C12 sounds like an old Russian riffle and I guess its all because of the mount of torque the engine spits!!

Btw its nice talking to u.. keep it up
