GEESH, give it a rest. It's true. Do the math. 2.0L engine can hold X amount of air and X amount of gas. A 4.0L motor can hold 2X amount of air and 2X amount of gas. So, it can also produce 2X the amount of power. No whatiffs, no buts, no nothin. It's mathematically true.
Finally someone else that gets it!

It's arguments like these that make me despise the import world
