The modern design of the EJ engine is just NOT from the 60's; traces it's roots is a joke of rhetorical diction, like saying toyota engines trace their roots from the 30's (which isnt much of an explanation of fail, as it is a honor to long standing engineering). The heads, whether opined crappy or not (they are not crappy they just have a different goal aside from HP) are NOT the only other reason why the N/A has a 'relatively' crappy HP/L... like someone mentioned, observe the Tq/L, its what Subaru is really about.
So the 60's part is ignorant inference, the terrible heads is the ignorant generalization, and the premise in full is the plain old lie.
