As for the HP/liter argument, when I had a 3L twin-turbo motor, that was all I cared about and I was making about 130hp/liter. Somehow when I bought a Viper, I realized just how lame that metric was as it was just a way to avoid the topic of what my total HP output was.
Is it cool to make 400HP out of 3L at high RPM? - you bet. Is it better than making 700hp out of 8L at lower RPM? - ummm NO. Not to me anyway.
How exactly did you come to this conclusion? Last time I paid attention to T1 for instance, the Viper had to run a 280lb weight penalty and 40% restrictor plate on the intake over the Z06 and that was with the older Gen 3 motor.

Naturally aspirated, the LS platform kicks the Viper's but too. I see in my passionate hasted I wasn't clear when I said "the bigger engine wins" in a race even with less "hp per liter".
