NA 6.6L vs. 2.0L turbo. Another comparison would be the "high performance" turbo V8 from those firebirds. 4.9L turbo 210hp, right about the same as my 2.0T. Admittedly 345lb/ft torque is higher than the 4cyl...after a simple ECU reflash it gets pretty damn close though. Direct injection is a wonder!


Edit/add: OTOH it shows how much turbo and DI technology have progressed. A turbo on a production musclecar engine was revolutionary back then, now everything high performance has a turbo on it and they are making gobs of power. My ultimate machine would have to be an R34 Skyline GT-R. The new ones are incredible (seen a few of them on the roads too) but I'm not a fan of the styling. Technologically they are a wonder.
