Not everybody needs to get a massive 8 just because "muscle car".
Though is there really replacement for "displacement" and "cylinder count"? My WRX can easily make ~300whp/tq, making it faster than some pony cars out there. I think it would still feel like crap because of the turbo lag. People should stop go telling me modern turbo has little to no lag because that's horseshit.
