hahah jk jk
very nice job!
I like this part “Torque is the pulling power of an engine and the LT4’s abundance of it at every rpm in the engine’s speed range helps the 2015 Corvette Z06 accelerate quicker and respond nearly instantaneously,” said Jordan Lee, chief engineer for Small Block engines. “It’s the very definition of power on demand.”
That meaty torque courtesy of Direct Injection, what's been like a renaissance for stock SBC performance.
My M3's 4.0L NA V8 is doing 103.5hp/L, and that's assuming you trust the conservative power rating. If you go based on what actual owners dyno, it's more like 109hp/L.
Though I do somewhat agree. Even with a mild tune, the supercharged Audi 3.0TFSI V6 is doing 135hp/L. The more aggressive but still streetable tunes are doing 150hp/L+ with nothing else other than an exhaust.
I think the really impressive thing about the corvette motor is its power to weight and physical size. 109hp/L is impressive NA, but would 600hp made that way fit under the hood or be light enough not to ruin the handling?
