There's too many factors to make a judgement based on that. There's just so much that goes into it. Yes, hp/ci can be a measurement of efficiency, but again, alot goes into that. I remember a bunch of Honda S2000 fanboys saying that, at the time, the motors in those cars made more hp/ci than any other n/a motor produced at the time. Problem: You didn't really make any power until the VERY top end of the RPM range. Down low, the cars were pigs by comparison. Same deal with the rotary cars I've driven (Mazda RX7/8).
