Here's a site with some food for thought.
http://www.the-classic-sports-cars.com/porsche-car-specs.html

The top 2 Porsches with exception of the last decade.. were the (77-80's)
911 Turbo 90.9HP/L and the (93-95) 928GTS @ 63.8HP/L. The basic Shelby
turbos were putting out 79.5HP/L till they released the DOHC R/T motor @
89.6HP/L. Most of the current factory available motors from Dodge aren't
trying to push the limits. Minimal technology on most of them by
comparison.
Otherwise, if Dodge was trying to compete on a power/ displacement basis..
they'd be building the Viper with almost 1100HP.
When Dodge wanted to push a little.. they did just that.. pushed .. then
just got out of the performance for the meantime.
