Fair enough, I think that the specification will probably be in an aircraft, ship, or perhaps trucking application. Where extreme efficiency is a requirement.

From the wikipedia list of automotive (which would exclude most of the things I just said) superlatives:
Most specific torque (torque per unit displacement)
* Petrol (naturally-aspirated) - 120 N·m (89 lb·ft)/litre (540 N·m (400 lb·ft) Ferrari 458 Italia
* Petrol (naturally-aspirated pistonless rotary engine) - 170.8 N•m (126.0 ft•lbf)/litre (222 N•m (164 ft•lbf)) - 2005 Mazda RX-8
* Diesel - 233 N•m (172.2 ft•lbf)/litre (500 N•m (369 ft•lbf)) - 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 250CDI BlueEfficiency
(Note: the Mercedes diesel is turbocharged)

I have a quick question about units.
I had an argument with my parents about ounces, the liquid and the weight measurement (by the way, we're using American ounces throughout, liquids and mass or weights).
My mother states that one liquid ounce is equivalent to one ounce in weight.
I believe not.
I don't think 1 pound of bricks is equivalent in weight to 16 ounces of water (without the container, etc.).

lol, maybe with water they equal each other (i dont actually know, but a kilo of water equals a litre of water) but there are so many liquids of different density that its obviously wrong.
I am the Stig
A litre of water weighs 1kilo at some specific temperature.. it might be 4 Celsius for some reason. I'd imagine they'd've done that with ounces too.. that'd make sense anyway. Why not try weighing it?
iirc 1 KG H2O = 1 Liter H2O at 25 °C and 1 atm of pressure.

Also 1ml = 1 cm³ right?
