^ Yeah...

The thing I hate is that every car manufacture thinks they need to make their cars bigger; so that means more weight, and a bigger engine to push all that weight. You don't need big displacement to have big power. Think of the popular RB26dett: 2.6 liter, twin turbo, and can easily make 600+ reliably. A lesser know example is the 2rz from the 01-05 tacoma: 2.4 liters, and one guy boosted it and made over 1000hp on stock internals (swapped it into a rwd corolla for drag racing). We just need something light weight, small displacement, and turbo to bring the numbers up.
