The main discussion is about NA versus FI
I still hold to my opinion that the majority of cars with over 500hp use FI because of it's many advantages over NA.
But to bring up another more prudent discussion in the same line of thought.
Car engines are getting smaller and smaller in the european market and more and more cars are being offered with a FI option. The number of model lines where the top performance variant uses FI is also increasing. Turbo/SC hybrid FI systems are reappearing. Sales of aftermarket turbo and SC systems is on the rise. I believe this is all evidence that FI is the way to go instead of increasing displacement or increasing rev limits. Even BMW has brought out a twin turbo 3L I6 (tuned to feel like a 4L) instead of making it bigger or righer revving.
There you go...
Discuss!

Note: I never said you couldn't get 500+hp out of a NA engine... just that using FI is better.
also I don't see the front page very often as I normally automatically log in and load the forum page. Also I am not really interested in an Enzo being reclad by Pininfarina... (still a nice car by all means I am just not interested in it) Also you will note I spend the vast majority of my time on this forum in the technical section I don't even look at other threads that often.

Power, whether measured as HP, PS, or KW is what accelerates cars and gets it up to top speed. Power also determines how far you take a wall when you hit it
Engine torque is an illusion.
