Consider the displacement.

450 hp per 3.0 liters. 150 hp per liter.

You know, that is fairly impressive.

I've spent a bit of time in Tampere, and unless prices have changed, you guys REALLY love cars because the cost of ownership there is incredible!!

My E55 was 165.000euros (about 200.000usd) with almost all options...and dont forget fuel prices....98 (same as 93 in US) is about 1.2 euros per litre. think about that guys...
