Oh yeah! Big, huge 1.8 or 2 liter displacement. That must be it, lol.

You also need to resize your sig to 500x250 BTW. It's a little too big.

I agree. Power to weight is more important than displacement.

Also people need to consider head design in addition to displacement. Obvious with only 5.0L of displacement, these 4V heads are making more than Dodge's 5.7L and close to Chevrolet's 6.2L.

look at the factory 5 kits cars or caterham they have a 2L focus motor in it and the thing is an animal same power to lb ratio as a buggati

just look at aircraft back in ww2 metal was at a shortage so england built a attack plane out of wood they put a decent powerplant in it and the thing was super fast same goes for cars
