to be honest guys, how much does this argument have to get played out...
like, before it was protege vs corvette... but the whole import vs domestic thing is extremely played out
there is no REPLACEMENT for displacement, but sometimes displacement is NOT the most ideal way
in a car that needs 200 hp, but also a 50/50 weight distribution, a v8 wouldnt work well there
but power wise, there is NO replacement for displacement.... FI does not replace it
FI compliments displacement, you could take a 8.0L V8 and boost it and no 4 banger could compete
so ya, when power is the only criteria, there is no replacement for displacement... and you cant even argue otherwise
when power is NOT the only criteria, then you could argue it
and when it comes to import vs domestic, its ALL taste and personal preference
some people like coming out of parkinglot sideways torque
other people like 9000 rpm redlines
some people like angry bumble bee exhausts, some people like growling shaking the ground exhausts....
some people like quick handling nimble 2200 pound cars, other people like 8 second quarter mile times...
you cannot argue personal preference, its subjective.
