actually its not like that.. if you look to European cars you see different numbers.. Google says 400ci is 6.5L.. 200hp..

skipping Ferrari's cause they re purely sports car brand.. like 256 GTO 3L 300hp beginning of 1960's.. Jaguar E-Type's 3.8L has 265 ponies with the almost half the displacement in 1960's.. Aston Martin DB6 less than 4L but had more than 280 ponies in early 1960's again.. Alfa Romeo Montreal had 3.0L engine pushing more than 370 ponies.. in 1970's.. BMW E9 CSL which i love has the same power with 6.5L with a 3.0L engine in early 1970's.. there a lot more examples to share..

as i ve said things changed after C6 ZR1.. and not only package as chassis wise, cornering braking etc and some parts were European.. that now we see such cars like yummy C7 ZR1, Hellcat, Demon with efficient engines..
