I'm not sure I would even let Honda claim the 120 hp/L "record". The 2.2L was down rated under the current SAE testing standards. I doubt the old engine would have made 240 under those same standards.

Also, the Ferrari engine is likely Euro ponies so it's going to be something less than 125hp/L using the SAE test.

Both are nice round magic numbers but neither mean that much to me. If the engine feels good I will take it.

^ It was for the old 2L engine, using the measuring standard when the S2000 came out. A record is a record; doesn't matter if it means much to you or not.

Shouldn't take away Babe Ruth's home runs because of the fact that stadiums have become a lot larger than the ones of his time.

really? I thought it was vice versa, and the stadiums were larger back then?

and that over time the stadiums are getting smaller for marketing. People want to see home runs, so smaller stadium = more home runs.

I havent seen any numbers, but I do know that minute maid field had the smallest left and right fields when it was built, but one of the longer center fields.

hp/liter makes you go faster right????

Thanks for the link. The car really looks good... but for the nose and tail lights. The air intakes in the nose just seem wrong but the overall shape is really good.

I half love the interior. I like all the interior except the parts that look like silver painted plastic parts from a Honda Civic. That's the air vents and some of the gauge hood. I'm not sure that I'm entirely in love with the areas where the car departs from classical design. But the overall shape is generally great. The sound is really great and I suspect Ferrari went through some effort to get the car to sound the way it does vs "well once we did the engineering it just sounded that way".

jdm ap1 had 250hp which made it 125hp/liter
