Oh, this ought to be good.

Inside every Z06 is an LS7 aluminum–block V8. It puts out a SAE-certified (Society of Automotive Engineers) 505 hp and 470 lb.–ft. of torque. Hand–built by the GM Performance Build Center in Wixom, Mich., the LS7 engine contains a litany of racing–derived components, such as an eight–quart dry–sump lubrication system, titanium valves and connecting rods, forged–steel crankshaft with six–bolt main bearings, high–profile cam, and Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machined heads for better air/fuel flow. Even with its performance, the engine does not incur a federal government gas–guzzler penalty.

Of course, it doesn't have displacement to make a lot of torque, not that it matters one bit since it makes so much horsepower. Btw, considering its a 4.2L, its still makes a LOT more torque per liter than a 2005 Mustang GT with a 4.6L, even though its tuned for horsepower.

Idiots need 7 liters to make 505hp

The BMW V10 makes 507hp from a 5.0L

That would be my choice. Of course the torque king right now is the SL65 AMG and AMG is making a new 6.3 L V8, N/A with 503 bhp and 4 valves a cylinder. They are making two turbocharged versions of this engine with an increase to 6.8 L, still keeping the 7,200 redline, the higher turbocharged version will have 697 bhp and 886 lb-ft torque.

Can you name an american car that has 100HP/L or more from a N/A V8? Didn't think so.

Hey, I'm not a car superexpert (Netherlands is not a serious car maker), but I thought the American Ford GT has a 100bhp/liter engine.

550bhp from a 5.4 liter engine

The price is kinda steep - $130,000

Any comments?
