    There are a few NZ M20's making 100+ hp/L.

      There was also a DOHC head in testing phase for it, i beleive only 5 where ever made, but they made the m20 breach the 1l/100hp barrier

          if that were true you'd still have an m20 under your hood

          As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
          You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

            M20 motors were made for driving, and not racing. they are rediculously expensive to bring any HP out of, and what you do get, isnt worth talking about. esp. in comparison with the SB Chevy motors.

                eric, you missed the key word there! "were" made for.
                I am not trying to down the M20, just saying it WAS "made for drivng"
                The M20 isnt bad, and CAN be made fast, just costs alot of cash VS the other options out there.

                    The M50 is great for driving everyday and hauling ass on-demand
