Yes, I'm very familiar with the specific-output bench-racing mantra...it's been around for quite a while, a bit tired, and you're wasting your keystrokes on me if you think I'm learning something new here.

I'm hoping you're not learning something new, I'm just pointing out that you are comparing a 3L to a 2.5L. If the displacement were even, the SVTC would come out WAY ahead. It just sounded to me as if you were saying the Saturn was almost just as much of a performer as the SVT, despite the obvious displacement..displacement. And to clear it up, I was not implying nor stating that you had talked down to the HO Duratec.

ChrisilverSVT, I was merely pointing out that a stock SVTC is, VERY nearly, capable of hanging with a Fox 5.0. There are roads longer than a 1/4 mile and not all races are from a dig... The fact that the high to mid 14 sec car is RWD and the low to mid 15 sec car is a heavy, FWD car kind of evens things out on the road....
