Honda's 30k S2k made 125ps/L in the same year that Ferrari finally matched the B18's 111hp/L with the 360 Modena (MSRP 172k). Meanwhile, Porsche was still stuck at 100ps/L with their 996.1 GT3 (85k?).

Considering Ford can make make 100hp/L nowadays, something tells me that if Honda tried, they can.
