I know these numbers look like a disappoinment to alot of people, but it's inline with top performance vehicles (<$50,000 normally aspirated cars) when considering the size of the engine. They just need a turbo version for the power hungry, but the engine looks like a good engine spec-wise.
HP/L is an engineers spec, but as a driver, I'm not too impressed. I care more about the lbs/hp, and that spec is not terribly impressive.
