I was just wondering why American car manufacturers have to have such large displacement V-8 and V-10 engines to get the horse power that ou can get out of say A Turbo Charged 4 or 6 cylinder engine. The reason being is I saw some power ratings for the corvette and the dodge viper and what there making with 8 and 10 cylinders, can easily be made with 4 or 6 cylinders. The Toyota Supra's 3 Liter Inline Six, Twin Turbocharged makes allmost what some of these large displacement V-8's make. And Nissans inline six and V-6 are the same way.
