those same people should realize that having double the cylinders means you need bigger brakes, wheels, tires, drivetrain, chassis etc. im not saying that each design philosophy doesnt have an advantage/disadvantage. its just that its always "frs isnt about the numbers, its lighter than the mustang" and then its "oh well the frs is faster than the maita" and now its "oh the frs has less body roll or the test was rigged or whatever it may be"
