Depends much more on the way it's driven than the size of the engine.. And loads of other parameters than engine size matter - I don't think you'd get very far on a liter of gas in a 1.5 liter turbo F1 engine 
WTF did this thread turn into? This is a kindergarten 
Certainly more bolts are able to distribute any forces better between them, but the fact that no standard exists is endlessly annoying
And that is only handling one part of the question - the number of bolts. PCD, sizes etc. are also different between cars.

If I get a chance, I'll ask someone who might know
I'm suspecting though, that noone wants to agree on anything

Chains are power sapping relative to what?
A shaft drive is much less efficient. Maybe a teethed rubber belt is more efficient, but go on and transmit 200 hp through it and you might have trouble making the rubber last long.
Almost right MadCatX, I'm way too lazy to explain it with math and stuff though.
The CoG shift is actually not that apparent at all, only body roll causes a (minor) CoG shift, but even a vehicle with no suspension will experience load transfer without body roll. It's basically torque acting at the CoG, not moving the CoG.

Mostly I was making fun at him for what I assume is a typo Yeah, the losses in a chain driven bike should be minimal.
Yeah, the losses in a chain driven bike should be minimal.Sound is subjective, and I've never heard of an S1000RR with 185 bhp. It seems the official number is 193@13k, but enthusiasts claim that this number is conservative and it's more along the lines of 200 +/- 10. At the crank, mind.
The top MX-5 model from 2009 has 167 hp from a 2.0L. Of course the S2000 will pull away, having around 100 hp more. 
I guess that's my fault for stating an opinion about a car when we're after facts
I guess that's my fault for stating an opinion about a car when we're after facts I'd rather an MX-5 than an S2000. It's nice to brag about HP/L, it's just not very relevant when you're driving it
My fault, it wasn't actually per litre. The M3 engine had the most powerful specific output besides the McLaren, of the engines made by BMW
. Oh, and the S2000 didn't exist when the McLaren was made.Truth is you need much more than a wheel alignment to correct this. Even if you have static negative camber, you will under cornering experience dynamic positive camber. It is really a feature of the McPherson setup, and the reason it is bad for performance driving. Lowering it beyond a very specific point is simply making bad worse.
Now, the best you can do is finding SHORT coilovers that are very adjustable, and springs that compensate greatly for the much shorter jounce travel.
I don't have a lot of experience in aftermarket parts, but I would guess that they mostly use quite soft springs in their kits, because modders would complain if they realized how hard their car should actually be.

Oh you are so very wrong. When the angle between the control arm and strut exceeds 90 degrees (usually when a street car is lowered more than 2-3 cm), the suspension experiences a loss of negative camber under roll. You cannot do a wheel alignment on a McPherson to correct this effect.
Additionally, this angle between control arm and strut causes the distance between the roll center and CoG to increase. This distance is the imaginary lever by which force works to cause body roll in the car, and it is increased faster by lowering than the CoG can compensate for. Do I have to explain to you what a lever arm does too? A lower car will in this case experience MORE body roll.
What Tristan says is true, except I disagree about the last statement. I find the most obvious effect of, let's say aftermarket suspension parts, is reduced grip with a perceived effect of better handling in some situations, especially as perceived by people with very little experience in handling cars.
Lowering of a street car usually results in ruining the geometry of the suspension. With the arms in a McPherson setup pointing 'upwards' toward the wheel, you'll get snap over/understeer with sudden positive camber.
Oh yes, this is only one of many possible negative effects of lowering a street car.
The feeling of a lower CoG means that the car will feel more like a kart. The car is a freaking death trap though.

I second BMW. Something like a E39 M5 with 400 hp in a 5.0L V8.
Or the E46 M3, which had the second most powerful (per litre) naturally aspirated engine besides McLaren F1 (AFAIK), at 340 hp in a 3.2L I6.
These cars are also sexy as ****.

Hai guise, if we extrapolate the release data from the last year it can be concluded that S3 will never be released.
Believe me, I have a PhD in Statistics from Derp University.

Everyone's allowed to have dreams
Ah yes, I've heard of those dynos. I have yet to see one anywhere around here though
Do you know how they work? I could imagine you do the measuring run, then put the car in neutral and let the wheels spin down, in which case you can measure the negative acceleration of the wheels. This would measure drag in a lot of drivetrain components, but isn't completely reliable.
Also, holy shit. Over 33% loss on your Evo?
