Did you know that a Kia spectra has more HP per liter than a Camaro V6?

Put up the details of your comment.

2009 Kia Spectra 2.0L @ 138hp is 69 per L
(did they make them after 2009)
2016 Kia Rio 1.6L @ 137hp is 85.6 per L

2016 V6 3.6L @ 335hp = 93 per L

hell the T4 Camaro 2.0L @ 275 Is 137.5hp per L

so what, drive what you want and enjoy it.

The Mustang 4-cylinder EcoBoost packs 310 HP & 320 lb-ft torque.

The person who made the horsepower per liter comment doesn't own a 2016 v6. I was being facetious. But I could have easily used a chevy cruze's 1.4 liter motor to make the same point about the 2016 Camaro.

Correct. And if you turbo'd your V8 you'd probably be sitting north of 600HP and 550tq.

None of those cars are as sexy as a Camaro, especially the Kia's.

Attention span only last up to 20 pages and then posters and readers move on to the next one. you can always count on 2-3 immediate pages on a new thread.
