But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

That's not nearly enough fun.Plus I've met tosspots with 5 second 0-60 cars on track. They're a pain in the ass as you spend your life being held up in corners only to have them open the gap up on the straights when they can wave their power about without needing much skill.+1 as i keep saying the Golf is a great fun motor and you can keep it on the boil a much higher % of the time and be far more involved in the drive.the Golf takes alot more "driving" to keep up than my point and squirt Turboed motor.What I was trying to get at is these threads when you are talking a difference of 26 hp between the 8v and 16v cars are a waste, its a negligable difference IMO
