But if you divide by 3 or 4 ( whatever BAR is being forced into the engine ) then you can compare to a NA. Otherwise yeah.. FORD knows how to make 5 liter NA engines go fast. Really fast.
The current 911 Carrera and Carrera S are turbocharged.
I know...I was referring to the NA 3.4 version.
Agreed. And what's always impressed me most about the 5.0 is that it's just about as quick (if not quicker especially with the Gen 3/A10 combo) than it rivals that need motors that utilize a liter or more in displacement.
Oh, I wasn't aware the Carrera came with an NA version.
The A10 GT PP1 is a tad quicker than the SS and traps 2-3 higher mph in the 1/4 (more significant than the tenth of a second e.t. improvement IMO of 12.1 vs 12.2 sec). But, to be fair to the engines, as I'm sure you're aware, those GM engines are a different technology; cam in block rather than DOHC. Physically the GM LT1 6.2 liter is similar in size to the Gen 3 Coyote 5.0. Sure it makes a lot less power per liter, but due to the design they can stuff more liters in the same package size so the per liter power efficiency is less critical. Quantity over quality thing. They have a similar power output, but take a different route to get there, different characteristics (higher torque, lower revving, etc.). After having been a cam in block guy my whole life, the Gen 3 coyote changed my mind. I love this Gen 3 coyote engine.
The 2020 Corvette weighs 3,647 lbs, according to Car and Driver's test. That's a good reason to make the C8 Z06 NA again. The C6 Z06 was NA and about a hundred or so pounds lighter than the standard C6 Corvette, and about 200 lbs lighter than the C6 ZR1. Hopefully the new NA Z06 will be in the mid 3,500 lbs range in lieu of the C7 trend, where each trim step up gained more weight than the last.
