The recent posts are amusing to these old eyes, having come to age during the great engine wars of the '60s with 406s, 409s, 421s, 426 hemis/wedges, 429s, 440s running 6 and 14 to 60/quarter. And now reading about 180s and 210s running not too much off those numbers (well, Ecoboost 9 to 60, but who's counting?) Huge differences in technologies but similar outcomes. :C
Only in straight line performance which is purely a function of HP, weight and gearing. Even the so called "gutless" ED puts out 80 HP per liter displacement compared to the 426 Hemi's 61 HP and gets about four times the mileage.
