hp/engine weight, torque/engine weight
Does anyone know of a database of engine weights?
With all this talk about hp/L and all, I've always thought that the benchmark for engines would be along the lines of power per engine weight itself. (Oil and all.) How much does a S2000 engine weigh? How much does a Z06 engine weigh, or a 360 Challenge engine, or a RX-8 engine, or...?

the renesis makes 238 HP (in america, more in japan) and weighs 275 lbs, not including alternator and other accessories.
Im sure it has the highest hp to weight of any n/a engine.
