159th out of 187 on the list. Not a particularly strong showing, but at least it's on the list.

When comparing displacement and HP, it is a very impressive showing. Thanks for the post.

Haha.. Thats a trip!!!! So the Barracuda beat out the Enzo. Look at the trap speed. Who's money is on the Enzo if you have to make a turn at 130mph??

I know! That's not fair..

Interesting list, two things that surprise me.
1. 1963 Dodge Ramcharger 12.0 @ 117! Who would've guessed that in 1963?
2. The S2000 at 13.8 is at the same level as a 1967 427/435HP Corvette

No surprise that the S2000 is the only NA 4-cylinder on the list.

Whose money is on the Enzo if they had to hit 170 mph?
