DO YOU RESEARCH!!! [sorry had to say it ]
In what? Power per liter? Not exactly. Even excluding high end stuff like Ferraris and things with FI the SVT Duratec wasn't exactly the pinacle of power/l although it was pretty good.
BMW M3 (E30) 83.6 hp/l BMW M3 (E36) 80 hp/l BMW M5 (E39) 80.4 hp/l Audi S8 85.7 hp/l Toyota Celica GT-S 100hp/l As well as the previously mentioned Hondas and Acuras.
Not to say the SVT Duratec was a bad engine, or even that its output was low, but it wasn't a groundbreaker per se.
