LOL! I completely agree, but...
In an ideal world, perhaps, car makers would be pushing engine design as hard as possible for the sake of engineering inguineity. It won't happen, though. You and I both know that if most car makers took this "higher approach" to making motors, we wouldn't be able to afford the cars that they're in (at least I wouldn't). Troy@SVT said something about this in regards to the Cobra on the GT40 Vs Viper thread; tuning a NA engine to 500 hp gets pricey.
But, you still have a very good point. And how about the RX-8 (250 NA hp)? There's a unique design for you, and they seem to be improving on it.
