Thank you... and No question of a flame war here. Leave the flame for the whopper at Wendy's
There is no problem with having a mature discussion though.
But I can see what you mean. If I drove a domestic high displacement engine I too would be bothered by the fact that cars with half my engine size want to be at the same level as me!
But the fact of the matter is, as you too realize is technology has allowed us to do many unconventional things.
Domestic 5.0, 5.7, etc were the beginning of it all... simple musclecars with just raw power... but now with technology we have forced induction and turbo engines like the Supra and Porsche that sort of shatter the old conventional, big engine, big power routine.
I personally think its great to have variation and so many options that way. Stock for stock you, as well as I can see what the numbers are. Its not all about displacement anymore.

Take the supra for example. I will not argue that it will run with if not beat a cobra r. But a turbo charger will significantly increase displacement. I will not argue over who will win but the displacement thing is really a pet peave of mine.
