WTF is going on in the auto world?

I mean, COME ON!!! This is fucking ridiculous!! The 2008 Dodge Viper's displacement is now 8.4 liters and it now makes 600 HP and 560 lbft of torque....

End result? Greenhouse gases are up 25 % and winters in NC will feel like summers in Chennai! FRACK!!! Exaggerating...but....

Can somebody put some freaking sense into the auto makers? I mean, there has to be some sort of a effort / performance ratio there isn't it? E.g. 6 liters = 400 HP = 0 to 60 mph of 4.5 seconds IS NOT EQUAL TO 8.4 liters = 600 HP = 0 to 60 mph of 3.9 seconds. Those precious 0.6 seconds will not help you reach the Can in time if you want to take a dump!! if you catch my drift...

I mean the equation is simple really....IF you really want to prove a point, go build a car that beats the pants off the Veyron....or just shut the fuck up!

Where is the concept of sensible automotive engineering these days? Lotus, Honda....I think it stops there.....what a shame!
