Very impressive, no doubt. But what about the NSX.
600rwhp, out of a 3.2 liter. 187hp/liter assuming 15% drive trainloss for 702hp, thats 220hp/liter
Sure, its a turbo, but its running and not breaking after over a full season of racing! (double stinting two classes this season) However, it has busted a axle so far this season.

What is impressive here is that someone took a 65hp/liter NA engine and turned it into a 100+hp/liter NA engine without adding forced induction. And they did it without millions of $$$ in R&D and/or factory backing.

I would hope a forced induction motor would have a higher hp/liter ratio, especially one setup for racing.
The Mitsubishi crowd is regularly cranking out 500-600whp (yes, to all four wheels) with 2.2 liters.

1983 TAG Turbo F1 car.
1.5 liter V-6 1000-bhp
667-bhp per liter
Not sure what the boost was but I'm sure it was 50+ psi

I would also like to add that Mike has done some great work with this! WOW!
That video also rocks.... Must have watched it 10 times.
