Car: 2009 Cobalt SS
Engine: Ecotoec 'LNF' 2.0L (121.9ci) w/GMS1*
HP & TQ: 290hp & 320 ft/lbs (iirc those are GM Tuner Source published numbers)

121.9 x 2.3 = 280.37

* = I'm actually making a fair ammount more hp than this, but I'm using GM's published numbers here only because I don't have any dyno numbers to prove any assertion which I might make.

The latest Shelby GT-500 Super snake obliterates this ratio as well.... but I digress, I'm verring futher from the topic than anyone probably cares for
