The V8 really is where it's at. There are a lot of great engines, but the old cam-in-block V8 continues to be near or on the top of the heap when it comes to power/weight ratio.

Sorry, 15/24, so really basically the same minus highway.
VR38DETT with engine/oils plus cats weight 608lbs (
VR38DETT engine weight | 2009 Nissan GT-R) Compared to a LS7 which is 458 with just the engine (no oils, etc.) I would say it is pretty close.
Power/weight is out the window now though. It is about fuel efficiency & power.
Power/weight is being left for the 100k plus cars only where anything below that needs to meet a higher MPG but still provide X amount of power.
