Look at the Corvette Z06, yes it's 7.0L, but it's naturally aspirated, gets 30mpg+ on the expressway and has a huge powerband all the way to 7,000rpms, (no turbo lag).
The 911 turbo is AN AMAZING car, but please don't talk like Americans are retarded and just use big engines. There are a lot of trade offs to have a small high tech turbo'd motor. Americans build affordable sports cars that are still scary fast, not $160,000 cars that when they brake down you need to take a 2nd mortgage on your house. |
x2. it's not accurate to compare any and all "american "sports" cars with engines twice the size" to a $175,000 top of the line porsche.
but feel free to compare the zr1 to it at a $125,000 and comparable perf.
