Wooo...doesn't make sense? LOL
Take a given room that's sealed off. A bathroom for example, that has 30 cubic feet of air in it sea level. That's 1 bar of pressure. Now, force in enough air to raise the pressure to 19 overall bar. That's an additional 18 bar. More volume, technically. So in a sense, the displacement does increase, even though the size of an engine stays the same.
I know that domestic V8's are not the only performance option. BUT, in MY eyes, they are the best.

Wait a second...so a turbocharger will turn my 1.8L into a 2.4!?!?!?
Uh...no. =)

I understand what jeep's saying though. It's hard to explain into words. You put more air into an engine, it's goinna produce more power. The thing is, a lot of those cars NEED forced induction to get the hp numbers they get. And as far as the argument about I4's and V6's having less cylinders and still able to keep up with a Mustang, put a turbo onto a 5.0 and then try that race again. It's comparing apples and oranges. Also, everybody here knows that Ford choked the stangs as far as the heads and intake go. Performance isn't based only on # of cylinders. Everybody knows that given equal flowing heads and intake, a V8 will take a V6/I4 any day.
Besides, a lot of the imports in question are geared to get that performance, and you're comparing this to a stock Mustang, which comes with 2.73's. Those in itself are a power robber. This argument really has to many factors to really say which are better, it's all pretty much based on opinions

Damn, I thought I put it into simple words. Guess not. I do know what I am talking about, and apparently, you failed to see it from my side of the fence.

Its the not the imports and chevys that we hate, its the assclowns that drive them that we hate.
This argument is so pathetic that everyone in this forum is now dumber for having read it. I award you all no points and may God have mercy on your souls.
