I'm all about the new age 4 banger technology.  The new stuff that Honda, Toyota, Subaru, and Mitsubishi blow the old "theres no replacement for displacement" theory out of the water.  When your getting over a hundred horse per liter with a naturally aspirated engine that's beauty to me.

Very true, the power they can get out of small motors is amazing. But Subaru doesn't get that power with N/A motors and the other motors still don't have any torque at a usable RPM. There is no replacement for displacement no matter how much power a motor can crank out a 6000 rpm. When Honda can make a motor that has a flat torque curve that matches horsepower I will be very impressed. There is nothing like punching the throttle when a motor is idling and having immeadiate response and burning rubber.
If you still have control you aren't going fast enough
