Yeah, because that 12 lbs makes all the difference.

And yes, 1.4 is greater than 1.2. And trust me, from an engine builder's standpoint that is a HUGE difference....

The point here is that before anyone starts making comments about how the LS is superior to any Ford, then I would refer them back to that hp/ci number. It boils down to efficiency.

From my standpoint, very few will pay that $8200 because most guys don't want cookie cutter engines, which is the basically the staple of the GM family.
