Why is it always the import crowd who brings up HP/L? It doesn't get you to the finish line any faster, seems like glorified bench racing to me. No disrespect intended to 1FSTWRX, as I do like your car. But while we're bench racing, what about engine efficiency, how about gas mileage vs power output or gas mileage vs displacement. Gotta love 30mpg out of 346 cubes with 350 hp.
One last thing on the HP/L thing, since horsepower is a calculated quantity why not use the real world data of TQ/L? All HP/L would tell you was that you can spin the engine to an ungodly RPM. Also, on an FI engine you should get more than 100 HP/L since you're getting much better than 100% VE.

Ya i know someone was going to remark something about benchmark racing, It doesnt realy matter as you said just wanted to throw out some numbers to prove that these little cars can produce alot of power if set up right. Lets face it i bought this car to go fast in a straight line and go fast in the twisties, all while having four doors and the sleeper effect. Just something about having a four door import and being pretty much untouchable on the streets.
