What is the ZR1 again? 620hp? HAHAHA. Go Ford modular power!

Hate to break it to you...but the engines in these are actually cast by Koenigsegg, designed specifically for this car. Your Ford power was only found in the original Koenigsegg CC8s. But way to get in the ZR1 dig...

Hate to burst you bubble, but the SSC Ultimate Aero is a Chevy based block, and it makes 1183 hp and 1094 lb/ft on 91 octane. The CCX-R's Ford-based (design inspired by Ford, not a Ford engine) motor makes 1018 hp and a paltry 781 lb/ft on 113 octane.
1183 > 1018
1094 > 781
91 < 113
More power, more torque, on lower octane pump gas.
Chevy Pushrod Power wins, once again.

Based on Ford? LOL. Its a copy of the DOHC 4.6L ford modular engine, just like the later Ford DOHC blocks were a copy of the original Italian-designed and cast block (for Cobras). And to the guy talking up GM engines like they are some technological prodigy, that SSC engine is 6.2L man!!!! HAHAHA.

So what if it's a 6.2L motor, it weighs 422lbs. Thats far less than any ford motor.
Get off the HP/Liter bandwagon and wake up to the REAL WORLD.
