Faaaaarrrrrkkkk Mikey, really didn't mean to start such a ****e storm!!

i only stated the facts a way an engineer not a mechanic or enthusiast would look at it !
i.e: hp per litre & hp per kilogram !
AT NO POINT was it mentioned which is cheaper to get hp from or anything else for that matter ....like maybe which is the better boat anchor etc.

At the end of the day what YOU LIKE is what suits YOUR application and if your happy with it nothing else matters to anyone but YOU

I don't think of it as a sh!t storm. It's been an interesting discussion so far. I'm not an expert and I've learned some interesting stuff from this thread (always got to keep learning)

I think we are all grown up enough here to see the Pluses and minuses of each option and it's not always about max power numbers. These cars are a big part emotion.

I've said many times that I reckon over 400HP is probably a waste in a Cobra and both of these motors far exceed that.

Keep the discussion going.

Cheers
