HP does not convert directly to top speed or acceleration. There are other factors, like what rpm the torque and max hp are developed at. This is an incomplete question.

Where are you getting a 300HP Naturally Aspirated 4 cylinder engine in a stock car? Are you using a turbo or a super charger? Are you comparing top speed, acceleration, 1/8 mile , 1/4 mile , 1/2 mile, 1 mile, oval track lap time, street track lap time? Each of these could be described as 'faster'.
Since you need to stay somewhere near the limit, I think which is faster, a 4 banger doing 70-75 on the highway, or the 6 doing 70-75 on the highway?
You'll probably get more respect with the 6, I know I look at a stock Audi A6 V6 model with much more respetc than a little modded up lawnmower... er civic.

Assuming weight is the same the v6 would produce more torque which would give better acceleration. But the 4 banger would be lighter which would give a weight advantage. Top end speed likely wouldn't be different between them.

the I4 would be because it is lighter but the v6 would have more possiblity for addition hp as the I4 would be about tapped out.

well a v6 engine would be bigger and heavier so the i4?

the HP is the same, so it depends on the gearing, and the driver.
