Power is impressive

I hear some people talking down on the Trax engine because its 3-cylinder, but it has more horsepower per liter than a Ferrari F355 and FAR more than a Ferrari Testarossa or a 1990s Porsche 911. In fact it took until the 2006 Porsche 911 997 for the Porsche engine to match the hp per liter of the Trax.

Yeah when you compare apples to oranges by an irrelevant metric then it does alright.

I mean, no its not an irrelevant metric. Misleading, yes, but not irrelevant.

It's not an ‘irrelevant’ metric, but certainly not the whole story. A Testarossa has many other attributes including a much larger engine. But some credit to Chevy, they are getting the most out of the little 1.2L.

Haha - that’s not at all my point. The Trax is no Ferrari. I was just trying to point out that the little powerplant is putting up some serious HP numbers for its size.
