right on, Avoman!

But surely, nowadays, someone could do better than 200 hp from a six liter engine? It's not dificult to get 70hp per liter out of a car engine and still be reliable...

GA piston engines do seem rather behind the times...

Do the advances made in racing aero engines find their way onto production engines?

I would think that there would be significant crossover between the car and aero engine industries...

Am I being a bit naive?
