Default Corvette, the performance car measuring stick

"GM’s Buick Regal, a new sedan due to go on sale this year, will only be offered with four-cylinder engines. A version with a turbocharged 2-liter engine will produce 220 horsepower, topping the 205 horsepower from the 5.7-liter V-8 in GM’s 1984 Chevrolet Corvette sports car, according to the company. "

Gee...they have to go back to 84 to rag on the V8 engine to make the 4 cylinder look good. And a V8 pushrod, 2V engine is now considered a dinosaur, regardless that it puts out over 400HP and gets good gas mileage to boot!
