340 HP is no good if it only makes a small amount of torque. I'd have to say that a 240hp Honda S2000 was one of the worst experiences of driving a car when i was driving it "easy". My C5 can easily cruise at 1500 RPM or lower all day long.

My Ecotec LHU only has 220 Hp, but the 258 ft-lbs at 2000 RPM sure makes up for it. (oh, and that's 110hp/L)
