But the whole efficiency thing is bullshit. People assume that a a 4 cylinder always gets better gas mileage then a V8. And generally they do. Because generally the V8 has more power. Start getting into I4s that produce hp and the gas mileage drops severely. Why? Because all the power a car has is produced by combustion of fuel and oxygen. It's a requirement. And more oxygen and more fuel equates to more power. You add a turbo to get more power on your car. What things do you need to think about? The ECU, fuel pump, injectors, etc. Because you need to make sure you can supply the added fuel that the engine needs not to run lean and burn up. Well dumpin more fuel into the engine means *gasp* worse gas mileage. As I've said, if an import is more efficient explain how. With science, facts, and numbers; not vague claims. I know how hard this is because I've tried to argue the wonder that is the S2000 a few times on other forums and a senior member ripped me to shreds while showing me the light. That hp per liter while an amusing fact means nothing if your MPG/hp is identical between 2 engines. And so called "Newer efficient" technology isn't truly amazing unless you can use it to make a faster, more powerful car without sacrificing gas mileage.
And I have friends that have Corrados, 240SXs, and DSMs faster then my Z28. The other fact common among all of them is that they ALL get worse gas mileage then me, (especially if they get on the highway), and they all require Super like me.
