While I do agree that greater displacement allows for a larger potential, Americans do not have the playing filed locked by any means. I4's and I6's developed by international companies are not using all of the same ideas as they had previously, they're merely expanding upon and improving upon existing technology.
okay first off, I love both of the cars you mentioned, but being the Mustang fan that I am, I must ask, what is the torque of these two cars? Torque is a true number of power, horsepower is a formula. (RPM/torque*5252 = horsepower)
