True enough, but it does say something about the level of engineering which went into an engine. [/b]

It's a very indirect measure of that, and I think mostly only holds because the larger engines tended to be the older engines. The C5 Corvette engine is certainly well engineered, but no V8 is going to get as high an HP/l engine as a small 4.
