That's impressive, I like how it torques at the end when he is playing with the throttle.

Thats pretty cool, but those numbers arent so large....especially for a V12...

The 3.4 in the Taco's make 56 HP per liter. Its FAR from a 'monster'

Now, the HP Racing Honda Civic, now thats a different story, 1.8 L with a stock bottom end making 722 whp.
Thats IMPRESSIVE (401 HP per liter...)

I agree, still pretty good for an aircooled engine though. It comes with the bragging rights for an running V12 on you table ;).

My 4Runner makes an estimated 94 hp/l :D

Even more impressive than that? How about a naturally aspirated engine that makes 794 hp/l :bowdown:
