How many cars are able to make 225 hp out of a 2.0 liter engine...thus
getting 112.5 hp/liter? How many of 'em run their engines at nearly
80-90% of redline continuously for extended periods of time?

My commuter car has a 2.0L that makes 227 hp (stock), has AWD, and cost
less
than $25K new. Granted I don't run at 6000 rpm continuously but the
world rally
cup guys might. (Subaru WRX)

All more impressive because the car is a 4-stroke. I don't think any
4-stroke outboard gets much more than 120 hp from 2 liters.

The Yamaha 225hp Four-stroke is a 2.0 L engine...without a supercharger and
without a turbocharger. That was the point of my original post.

The only production model I can think of is the Honda S2000. A normally
aspirated 1997 cc making 240hp at 8300 rpm.

Check the specs again. The F225 is 3352 cc. That works out to 67
hp/liter, about 10% better than the ballpark figure I gave.
