ok.. Driving my new charger, and I really like it, but I'm thinking the Prowler pulls off the start just as good, if not way better. So I did a little math.. These big cars, like the charger with the cool Hemi.. they weigh 2 tons Ponder this next time someone says, it only has a 6cyl Charger with 5.7 Hemi @ 350hp is a whopping 4100 lb car. So the ratio of bhp/hp=.085 That little prowler with it's tiny 6, is only 2838 lbs with a 253hp engine.. netting a ratio of bhp/hp=089.. Moral = bigger engine, is not always better  |

Agree.... Add the gears and it is a different car - for sure off the line.

I agree! Some other interesting facts: The LS7 Vette engine weighs 370 lbs fully dressed and puts out a whopping 1.36 Horse Power per pound. (505 H.P. Certified) The North Star Supercharged engine weighs 450 pounds fully dressed and puts out 1.04 Horse Power per pound. (496 H.P. Certified) |

Would you say 2 horsepower per cubic inch is good from a gas engine??? This message has been edited by pumpkin on 08-13-2007 at 07:02 PM |

Ac, thats right. The little four banger is 120 cubic inch and puts out 240 hp. Cold air intake and your flying when the v-tech kicks in at 6, ooo rpm.Never redline it yet in 6th gear red line is 9,000. |
