Well, after seeing this video I went out and bought a brand new ZO6. I can't even begin to explain how happy this car is making me. But you do need to keep a club handy to beat the women off! LOL
This made me smile, a European racing driver saying something nice about American cars. I will agree the majority of American cars were wallowing messes until the Viper ACR and Corvette Z06
what a cock, the interior "is way behind euro standards" when ur in a car that removes your testicles everytime you accelerate you dont need electric heater seats or a coffee maker. dumb ass pom
but to most people, that buy cars, the quality from inside and out does matter. i mean lets really think about it, you'll be spending more time inside the car then looking at it from out. also tho it is very fast using all that power would be rare and far in between so have nice leather interior instead of plastic, and a stylish interior is rather important to a normal consumer. still a great car but i dont think it would be something id buy for my midlife crisis. im a viper guy myself
This Vette is the first one ever that gives me the same thrill and sense of awe when I see one that, say, a Ferrari does. It's a beast and a true supercar...
who needs the top end? the nissan is faster in corners too... and it aint no datsun :) but i know what you mean... the corvette is probably more fun, because its easier to lose traction with this monster, but when you call the gtr a datsun, then I call the corvette an american car and thats really hard...
true, but dont forget the nissan gtr... corvette costs about the same as the nissan gtr, and the gtr is even faster. -> 7:28 on the nürnburgring (this is faster than the porsche carrera gt!!!) but i know, the zr1 blows everything away.. :)
The Z06 is one fine automobile! My only downfall is that they are all over the place, I see at least 1-2 a week when I'm out bumming around. I think everyone wants a Z06 in the Raleigh NC area.
Wow top gear and fith gear both loved the performance for the vette. My only problem is with chevy build quality because the chevy we did own (which was not a vette) was absolute crap for reliability my A4 which had well over 160K was in much better shape then the chevy with 88K miles on it. But performance wise not bad for the price stil i would take the 911 turbo just my preference.
I'm glad a Brit actually had something complimentary to say about an American car. I lived there for two years 30 years ago, and lord, it's hard to believe they would have anything bad to say about yank tanks. Much less Corvettes. American cars are still nicer than most offerings from anywhere. Luxury offerings from Germany are fine too, as are the Japanese knockoffs, but US cars are the best bang for the buck if you want a straight up "nice" car. The Vette isn't alone out there for that.
Right. The average joe drives an average car, and average US cars were bigger, more powerful, smoother and more reliable than their Euro counterparts. I had a easy chance to test them one versus the other. Yeh, the stiffer suspension on a small car gives "some" corning advantage. So what. If you want cornering, the circa 1970 lightweight C3 Corvettes came factory equipped with big block 370 to 525 HP. And barely had a spoiler. Doesn't sound trivial to me. That's all I'm saying. Cheers
well i see it as this, id rather have a a family car that performs decently well, than a family car that floats like a Buick. i mean even when people get a family some of them dont want the nuts clipped so they will pass the Toyota dealership and head to Nissan or BMW. its rather reasonable to want a everyday car that is good around corners at a decent speed. and Vetts dont have back seats for the average joe that needs it.
Despite the tone, you have a point. Though most of the "can't corner" cracking is just baloney, the stiff suspension that a little car must have makes it at least 'seem' faster around a corner. There's not much real difference. Ironic you would pick a Buick to compare. I drive a Riviera. A set of aftermarket shocks and it handles and rides just fine, and would take a 7 series to match it in those regards. Know that you are judging your car purchase decision on the basis of OEM shocks.
ive been a quite a few cars, and the way like toyotas has "luxury suspension" and its rather sickening, and tho i have fiends that have them, a toyota couldnt take a slightly bumpy corner fast because the entire car gets affected by it. rather with a car like Nissan a BMW the car has comfortable smooth ride with sporty handling. but idk man ive been in buicks and a 7s and im sure it would take more than a quick suspension tune to make it even comparable
I agree. I don't want a car wallowing around corners. Don't underestimate Buick. They've always made excellent cars; indeed 60's BMW took Buick for its model. The Riviera has a superb combination of front strut and rear trailing swing-arm suspension, and with a mildly agressive shock does indeed rival the 7 series. The Riv rides smoother, and I'll give the 7s a slight nod in extreme cornering, but the Riv is an excellent overall ride, handling high speed with aplomb, and corners with grace.
I like how he said that there was nothing great about the interior when the vette is about the drive NOT the interior. I LOVE my ZO6 it drives like a dream. And it is EXTREMELY fast. Best Vette they have ever made, with the exception of the ZR1 of course.
I bet he's a better driver all around than any of us. That said magazine testers and guys like this who drive a variety of cars don' squeeze the best numbers out of them. It's only because they don't have a particular niche'. If you drive a corvette everyday and you're worth your salt you can probably drive it faster.
One, the Corvette is THE most controllable sports car money can buy, I don't care what you say. Second, Have you ever driven in Europe? There are so many curves and they all drive manuals, they have to be at least decent drivers.
i dont know man... i live in europe right now, and compared to the "common sense" that we got taught in America... some of these "mufuckas" can't drive worth a damn
He is talking about common sense, you need some American links?
Then again, I don't need too, because you're the stupid mother fucker who thought the following...
"No, but I'll take one over a Pontiac, Grandad"
...was referring to car known as the "Pontiac Grandad"
You've done an excellent job in explaining the reason for my "Americans..." statement in your retarded inability to make sense of anything I've typed.
Now fuck off and change that annoying tiled wallpaper on your profile.
Yes, beleive it, the Americans are doing what they need to do. Because a pretty car would never satisfy the Europeans, only a car which had better performance for far less Euros.
u aint lying about that one i went to a nissan dealership with my cousin so he could check out the new maxima, and they had a gt-r there priced at 129k dude, the salesmen showed us the invoice and there it was 129k, but that was just that location, i looked up a few more in my area and the cheapest was 79k
The Z06 will smoke 95% of Ferrari's (all of which cost at least 3 times more), and the production spec GT-R is slower than the Z06. Without its launch control, the GT-R will do 0-60 in 4.1 seconds (pathetic for a 'supercar') and even with the launch control, a perfect launch only ties the Z06 in 0-60. Z06 is faster in 1/4 mile, 0-60, most tracks, gets better gas mileage, has more tuning potential, etc, etc, etc. Z06 >>> GT-R.
That being said, both cars are incredible. The Z06 is pure engineering at its most basic, delivering incredible monstrous power. The GTR is a supercomputer on four wheels (without it the car wouldn't be as quick on a track or in a straight line..and Nissan apparently lied about the estimate of its HP; its in the range of 520). It doesn't look exotic in any way, but I think its awesome.
true, but look at price range...although u get 2 turbos and the worlds smallest supercomputer, the performance is basically the same...the Z06 is naturally asperated and i work in a shop where we fit performance parts to Z06's every day...add a vortech supercharger and gain 65-120hp instantly w/o an intercooler...add one turbo and get about the same...add another and get from 100-250hp gain...and u can actually feel the power without being held back by the computer controlled differentials
not really...u obviously havent done any research on this car or the ZR1...with the launch control on, the GT-R does 0-60 in 3.8secs. The ZR1 has 2 wheel drive, launches slower, and also has a 0-60 time of 3.8secs. the ZR1 costs about 8 grand more and tops out at 205hp. ur GT-R stops at 193mph....with not one, but TWO turbos...pretty sad, dontcha think?
oh common I think you Americans need to do some research because YOUR AMERICAN magazine Road and Track states GTR does 0-60 in 3.3sec and Z06 0-60 in 3.5sec? I have done my research and looked at American magazines which even commented that the GTR is faster than the Z06. I am not saying the vette is a bad car. secondly i went to my dealer and he offered to give me a NEW GTR for 67K (cheaper than the Z06)finally it is not all about speed but the functionality of the car!
only because of launch control. the z06 1/4 mile trap speed is 7mph faster on terrible goodyear runflats. on michlein pilots it would perform better. look at edmunds comparison 4 gtr-zr1. depends who's driving
you think the ZR-1 is cheap, with all the tricked out options the car comes to 158K! I checked with the Chevy garage it self! it has a low base price but what you see in magazines is going to cost you more. why not pay a bit more for something that looks good?
Thats why in the UK, GM is selling the zr1 for 100,000 pounds ($150,000). Anyway American car, italian brakes, english supercharger, french tyres,walmart interior. No superiority complex here, just look at what you can buy for the same money. Price is not a minimum for the rest of the world.
ok lets just say that ur right...name another car in the same price range that gives u the same performance....hmmm? by the way, i seriously doubt the roots-type supercharger is made in england, but u could be right...if im not mistaken, it looks like the same one used on the cobalt ss/sc
your an idiot why wouldnt they uses brembo brakes eaton is American and why would they create their own fuckin tires when you could just buy michelins
you need to check ur facts dude. american cars r right up there in quality with the japanese. check JD powers or consumer reports.get educated. quality is there they are rated much higher than anything coming from GB
you don't understand america sir. we don't care about plastic, all cars have some plastic for interiors. what we really care about is winning. winning is more important to us than having titanium buttons. we(usa) now offically own the nurburgring with cars that are alot less expensive. eg. (viper acr)(zr1)(cadillac cts-v) that's called an accomplishment. U need to be a little less judgemental & recognize this painful fact.
I do understand america, i live here. As for americans not understanding plastic, your country is the only one in the world where the people buy a substandard product to be support thier flag. In europe if we want to go fast we will buy a caterham/radical/ etc. Ifwe want 85% of that performance we will buy a porsche. There is more to a good car than a lap time...
"there's more to a good car than a lap time" ...And YOU were the one bringing Radicals into the discussion? If it wasn't for lap times, what does the Radical have? Comfort? New Technology? Also, Europeans don't feel any national pride, so if they want good performance, they'll buy a Porsche? Uhh, Porsche is a German, AKA European brand. Rather convenient... Stop stereotyping Americans, I, for one, would LOVE either a Corvette OR a Porsche.
I don't care what anyone says: dollar for dollar, the Corvette Z06 is the king of the road. Any car that can compete with it costs at least twice as much.
This guy nearly spooged himself as he admitted to the z06's superior performance compared with the name brands mentioned. This video speaks volumes for the vette.
I want to see the Europeans produce a car as good a performer as the Zo6 for the same price as the Zo6. For $70k, I doubt it will have an Alcantran interior such as the interior of the 911 Turbo which cost $140k+. For the extra $70k it should have a more upscale intereior. Lotus Elise is a bare bone stripped down $70k car that has cold metal floors and half the ammenities of a Zo6 and I don't hear anyone chastizing it, why? Beacuse it's European that's why which is a crock of crap.
while your trying to get the highest g's possible in a corner i dont think you should be staring at some display. i dont know who thought that up its really stupid and illogical
pardon? lateral gs are a measure of horizontal cornering speed during a turn. they increase with both speed and decreasing radius of a turn. in literary nomenclature this result is found with a skidpad test in a vacant testing track and requires the full attention of the driver. therefore, his eyes should not be focusing on a small readout within the lower dashboard while he attempts to balance the oversteer, understeer, steering angle, and throttle of a 500hp car esp while on public roads.
64% of all GM cars are sold outside North America. The last time I checked, that included Europe, where everyting is soooo superior. gutze101 needs to wake up and look around a bit.
Show me any american car that doesnt fall apart after like 5 years, Ofcourse its low priced with that plastic interior and suspension from 1950. American cars are not proper made, european car journalist have always agreed on this, they wouldnt just made that up. And its very known to all car fans over the world. I dont read american car mags, but im pretty sure they can agree on that Most european cars have better quality.
my mom still has a corvette from 1979 and it works splendidly now that is good quality and ill tell you why european cars have always been very complicated there are so more reasons why a Ferrari can go wrong but a corvette is just simple engineering making it more reliable and cheaper to fix.
I recently sold a Ford that was very reliable and low maintenace for 275,000 miles over 9 years. By far the most expensive thing about it was the 8 sets of Y rated tires I wore out at $670 each. When I think European, I think ridiculous maintenance costs from normal wear to stuff breaking that has no business breaking on cars that are so expensive to buy. Every single one I learn about from their owners so far has proven me right.
I about to get a 97 Grand Prix GTP that this woman at my dads job owns and she said it has never broke down. Some people just dont take care of their cars.
omg europeand dont get the point let me start with the britts they think the veron is british wtf the britts dont even have a great car conpanies second thei seem to think they have a super car in thei garage wich thei drive like crazy people around corners drinking some fucking tea the point is the zo6 is a great car for people that cant aford a supercar and who gives a fuck about corners if you can drift in a stait line japan rules us rules fuck the old empire and fuck you if you dont like it
I LOVE it, I have a Turbo Miata, I can't stand GM's cars, but Z06 is my dream. Corvette is a legacy and now it's BACK. I don't need all that traction, AWD, stability B.S. like GTR. For me it is always front engine & RWD, & BIG BLOCK.
"For me it is always front engine & RWD, & BIG BLOCK."
ZO6's LS7 is a 427 cubic inch aluminum SMALL BLOCK. It weighs less than the 4 cam 4.3L (263 cubic inch) V8s found in many European sports cars, and it makes WAY more torque than any of them. Now, THAT is engineering that works.
If your a hardworking guy, but not exactly rich, and want performance for your money....there's not much better for your money without going to a track car. The new skyline is cool and all but some people dont want all the computers controlling the diffs and so on.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I dislike the Corvette Z06. First of all the only, and I say only, reason people buy this car is because they're too cheap or poor to afford a proper supercar (same story with the Skyline). And to be honest, the only reason American's like this car is cuz their feeble little brains can understand going straight and nothing more.
Give me a F430 any day, I don't care if that Corvette is faster in a straight line.
The proper supercar to me means not only being insanely fast on a track, but it has to be a comfortable ride on the road (the Z06 with its Leaf Springs and stiff suspension doesn't do this), and has to look and be rare enough that everybody 2000 yards of you will know you're driving something special. That's why the 911 also fails at being a proper supercar, it's too common to be one.
Don't get me wrong, if the Vette floats the boat keep it, I'd rather pull up in a Ferrari or a Lambo.
"American's like this car is cuz their feeble little brains can understand going straight and nothing more."
Someone who represents a higher brain capacity should be more comprehensive. Did you forget the zo6 'bring lap time? Better than your ferrari holmes. It's not about being cheap, it's about value. The zo6 is a giant killer. Get used to it and get ready for more tears. The zr1 is only gonna humiliate ferrari even more.
Too cheap or poor to afford a proper supercar??? you really need a reality check... not even middle class people can afford a brand new standard corvette, let alone a ZO6. what the hell makes you the authority on "proper supercars"??
... just for shits & giggles, what do YOU drive???
...give you an F430 LOL; you could buy the whole of Burkina Faso for the price of an F430in your dreams boy. Sorry to piss on your bonfire but I sold my 911 GT2 and bought a Z06and pocketed the change; why? because it's a better car and its better value; in the showroom and in the service shop. In order to lap the Nordschleife in 7:42 you have to be able to go round corners at some rate - stick to your ox cart.
50k and itll take a enxo? wtf 9k on a stage 3 turbo kit and new suspension and it would take a enzo lol in a straight line and in a coarse. beat the zonda around a track dam
well, it is a bargain but you end up saving more when buying a Zonda cause American cars are known to be non-reliable plus the ZR-1 is nowhere near as luxurious as any European car, but i think that it's a good car considering it's faults
Honestly if you ask me for 100K i'll buy an M6 over any Vette. allways hated american cars. but when i drove the new z06 i was impressed. my e46 M3 is not even close to the power plant. and they gonna supercharged that...you touch the back of the vette it bends in ,PLastic
anyways, the Z06 is pretty much fucked up now that the 2008 Nissan GTR came, it has 475HP, should cost $70,000 and has a better interior, it's 4WD, does 0-60 in 3.5 seconds but i think the ZR-1 will have great success considering that it's so cheap
Came? Came where? It's not even available in the USA yet. Make no mistake, the GT-R is a great piece of engineering, but a 3900 lb car w/ 475 HP will not touch the performance potential of a well sorted 3100 lb car w/ 500+ HP.
The great advantage of AWD is when traction is poor. This is not the case on a track w/ proper tires (DRs, DOT-Rs, Slicks). It *would* be instructive for a rag to do a car comparo having eliminated the tire variable. Slicks on both cars at VIR would be interesting.
well, idk, that's what the results say, Nissan says that the car has 475HP but it has been reported by some people in Japan that the car actually does 525HP, meaning that Nissan underrated it's HP, the car weights 3800 pounds btw and it's AWD which could explain why it does such a quick 0-60 time (3.3 seconds)
Good vid. The traction controll really helps. I had a 455 skylark and I couldn't get traction at all. Stock 455 buicks make 510 lbs/tq @ 2000 rpm. My 350 Nova was faster than my Skylark because I got more traction. The owner of that gtr might have tweaked it a bit.
No. I had the Buick and Nova 20 years ago. Hopefully I'll get to build a car soon. I'm getting itchy for something fun to drive. I had a v8 vega in high school. I learned how to fix cars because that car broke everything.
the only reason it can do that is b/c of the launch control and the AWD system...thing is, the ZR1 also has a 0-60 avg. of 3.4sec...and its RWD...raw power, excellent handling, carbon ceramic rotors with 6 piston calipers, beats the GT-R, ferrari 599, and the 911 GT2 in EVERY aspect of performance and has a carbon fiber and fiber glass body (not plastic)...by far the best in supercar(not hypercar) performance, without the supercar price
why do all of u Euro lovers talk about something that u know NOTHING about??? I am a Corvette specialist and i have been working in a chevy dealership for over 12 years...what about GM cars is so "non-reliable"??? I know about 20 corvette owners that have everything from old school 350 vettes to 1990 LT1 vettes to 2007 Z06 vettes...i work on em all the time...over 12 of them have Z06s that they take to the track every weekend...with over 180,000 miles and still look brand new and run like it too
Check out Jan '08 Road and Track article on V8 sports cars: Aston, Audi RS8, '08 Vette, and F430. I used to think the pushrod V8 was inferior compared to european 4 cam until I saw that it has about the same HP, makes 30 or 40% more torque, is roughly 50% more fuel efficient than the Euro's -- while it weighs about 10% LESS!! Seems to me this settles the old HP per liter argument in favor of power density of the whole package, not just the volume of the combustion chambers.

pimpinkin87 3 years ago
The Z06 will smoke 95% of Ferrari's (all of which cost at least 3 times more), and the production spec GT-R is slower than the Z06. Without its launch control, the GT-R will do 0-60 in 4.1 seconds (pathetic for a 'supercar') and even with the launch control, a perfect launch only ties the Z06 in 0-60. Z06 is faster in 1/4 mile, 0-60, most tracks, gets better gas mileage, has more tuning potential, etc, etc, etc. Z06 >>> GT-R.

EVO magazine #116 page 75-77:
0/60 Z06 3.9 GTR 3.8
0-100 Z06 8.5 GTR 8.9
0-100-0 Z06 14.0 GTR 13.9
That being said, both cars are incredible. The Z06 is pure engineering at its most basic, delivering incredible monstrous power. The GTR is a supercomputer on four wheels (without it the car wouldn't be as quick on a track or in a straight line..and Nissan apparently lied about the estimate of its HP; its in the range of 520). It doesn't look exotic in any way, but I think its awesome.
vondielstrum 3 years ago
true, but look at price range...although u get 2 turbos and the worlds smallest supercomputer, the performance is basically the same...the Z06 is naturally asperated and i work in a shop where we fit performance parts to Z06's every day...add a vortech supercharger and gain 65-120hp instantly w/o an intercooler...add one turbo and get about the same...add another and get from 100-250hp gain...and u can actually feel the power without being held back by the computer controlled differentials

not really...u obviously havent done any research on this car or the ZR1...with the launch control on, the GT-R does 0-60 in 3.8secs. The ZR1 has 2 wheel drive, launches slower, and also has a 0-60 time of 3.8secs. the ZR1 costs about 8 grand more and tops out at 205hp. ur GT-R stops at 193mph....with not one, but TWO turbos...pretty sad, dontcha think?
mtooshort20 3 years ago
oh common I think you Americans need to do some research because YOUR AMERICAN magazine Road and Track states GTR does 0-60 in 3.3sec and Z06 0-60 in 3.5sec? I have done my research and looked at American magazines which even commented that the GTR is faster than the Z06. I am not saying the vette is a bad car. secondly i went to my dealer and he offered to give me a NEW GTR for 67K (cheaper than the Z06)finally it is not all about speed but the functionality of the car!
corsascuderia 3 years ago
only because of launch control. the z06 1/4 mile trap speed is 7mph faster on terrible goodyear runflats. on michlein pilots it would perform better. look at edmunds comparison 4 gtr-zr1. depends who's driving
mtross70 3 years ago 2
you think the ZR-1 is cheap, with all the tricked out options the car comes to 158K! I checked with the Chevy garage it self! it has a low base price but what you see in magazines is going to cost you more. why not pay a bit more for something that looks good?

Thats why in the UK, GM is selling the zr1 for 100,000 pounds ($150,000). Anyway American car, italian brakes, english supercharger, french tyres,walmart interior. No superiority complex here, just look at what you can buy for the same money. Price is not a minimum for the rest of the world.

I want to see the Europeans produce a car as good a performer as the Zo6 for the same price as the Zo6. For $70k, I doubt it will have an Alcantran interior such as the interior of the 911 Turbo which cost $140k+. For the extra $70k it should have a more upscale intereior. Lotus Elise is a bare bone stripped down $70k car that has cold metal floors and half the ammenities of a Zo6 and I don't hear anyone chastizing it, why? Beacuse it's European that's why which is a crock of crap.

pardon? lateral gs are a measure of horizontal cornering speed during a turn. they increase with both speed and decreasing radius of a turn. in literary nomenclature this result is found with a skidpad test in a vacant testing track and requires the full attention of the driver. therefore, his eyes should not be focusing on a small readout within the lower dashboard while he attempts to balance the oversteer, understeer, steering angle, and throttle of a 500hp car esp while on public roads.

I recently sold a Ford that was very reliable and low maintenace for 275,000 miles over 9 years. By far the most expensive thing about it was the 8 sets of Y rated tires I wore out at $670 each.

"For me it is always front engine & RWD, & BIG BLOCK."
ZO6's LS7 is a 427 cubic inch aluminum SMALL BLOCK. It weighs less than the 4 cam 4.3L (263 cubic inch) V8s found in many European sports cars, and it makes WAY more torque than any of them. Now, THAT is engineering that works.

I dislike the Corvette Z06. First of all the only, and I say only, reason people buy this car is because they're too cheap or poor to afford a proper supercar (same story with the Skyline). And to be honest, the only reason American's like this car is cuz their feeble little brains can understand going straight and nothing more.

Define "proper" supercar? 200MPH? Sub 4.0 second 0-60? Low 11 second quarter mile? VIR under 3 minutes? Nurburgring under 8 minutes?
Or are you talking about interior trim?... In which case you would have to exclude the F40 since it didnt even have fucking DOOR HANDLES.
mcm375 4 years ago 2
The proper supercar to me means not only being insanely fast on a track, but it has to be a comfortable ride on the road (the Z06 with its Leaf Springs and stiff suspension doesn't do this), and has to look and be rare enough that everybody 2000 yards of you will know you're driving something special. That's why the 911 also fails at being a proper supercar, it's too common to be one.
Don't get me wrong, if the Vette floats the boat keep it, I'd rather pull up in a Ferrari or a Lambo.

KarenPonch 4 years ago
anyways, the Z06 is pretty much fucked up now that the 2008 Nissan GTR came, it has 475HP, should cost $70,000 and has a better interior, it's 4WD, does 0-60 in 3.5 seconds but i think the ZR-1 will have great success considering that it's so cheap
MacOSXrulez 4 years ago
Came? Came where? It's not even available in the USA yet. Make no mistake, the GT-R is a great piece of engineering, but a 3900 lb car w/ 475 HP will not touch the performance potential of a well sorted 3100 lb car w/ 500+ HP.
The great advantage of AWD is when traction is poor. This is not the case on a track w/ proper tires (DRs, DOT-Rs, Slicks). It *would* be instructive for a rag to do a car comparo having eliminated the tire variable. Slicks on both cars at VIR would be interesting.
mcm375 4 years ago
For 475hp to push a car to 60 in 3.5 sec that car would have to weigh 3000 lbs of less. I don't think the skyline weighs under 3000 lbs.
tamapalagi 3 years ago
well, idk, that's what the results say, Nissan says that the car has 475HP but it has been reported by some people in Japan that the car actually does 525HP, meaning that Nissan underrated it's HP, the car weights 3800 pounds btw and it's AWD which could explain why it does such a quick 0-60 time (3.3 seconds)

Check out Jan '08 Road and Track article on V8 sports cars: Aston, Audi RS8, '08 Vette, and F430. I used to think the pushrod V8 was inferior compared to european 4 cam until I saw that it has about the same HP, makes 30 or 40% more torque, is roughly 50% more fuel efficient than the Euro's -- while it weighs about 10% LESS!! Seems to me this settles the old HP per liter argument in favor of power density of the whole package, not just the volume of the combustion chambers.
