Nowhere near the same engine though, oval ports, roller cam etc.
Comparing a modern engine to an old school muscle car engine is like putting Jen Hawkins next to Marilyn. They achieve the same thing in very different ways. My bog standard auto CV8 with my 120kg in it is as quick as a PhaseII or III but no comparison in the driving experience.
