Its odd how its the exact opposite in the US. A simple k20a motor swap into an EG chasis can easily hit 12s on motor alone with mild bolt ons. That's factory reliability, without forced induction. As it stands AJP has had a turbo 400 hp 06 Civic Si (stock internals) that is street driven for the past 2 years with zero problems. Typically, American V8s are so 'detuned' from the factory they struggle with 80hp/liter while Honda has achieved 110-120 hp/liter several times with overwheming success.
Well interesting how we do not see Honda's outperform many vehicles in my country. They are great vehicles for shopping, and city use. Good for teenagers to blow money into to learn how to tune. However, a 4 cylinder 4.3L or less engine is small, and even with a turbo, the engine life, and maximum power output is very limited.
That might apply if they were: 1. the same weight, 2. the same aerodynamically, 3, geared identically. As it stands, the yukon is still based on a truck platform meaning the gearing is meant for low end torque production, not top speed. What you are argueing is torque production, which can be offset by gearing (stay in the powerband). Thinking that wind resistance plays into it at 60km/h is silly, WR would be minimal at best.
Yea, but even if it was dry cement, a 4 cylinder engine might outrun the Denali off the launch, but once you hit 60km/h and the amount of air resistance of your vehicle quadtruples per kilometer per hour, a V8 engine will over power a GSR.

For fun? sure. Defining performance? weak.
