Why would more power would ruin the car??

The low CG of the motor isn't the key to the cg of the car, it's how low the HIGHEST point of the motor is. Subaru said it, we lowered the motor AND EVERYTHING ELSE WITH IT. This is where the boxer helps. Same reason Porsche can cram them under a trunk lid.

The lower top of the motor means a lower hood (which now needs 2" of space from the motor for pedestrian safety), which means a lower seating position, which means a lower roofline. The low vertical height of the motor drops the whole car.
