No replacement for displacement is a crock!

I'm not saying I look at it from my 2.0 can be faster than your 5.0. I look at it from the stand point.....

"There is no replacement for displacement" meaning to me that if there is a motor with more displacement, it should always win because there is no replacement for it. And everyone knows that isn't true. Hence the Sledgehammer Vette. All that power out of a 349.

so basically, even though you denied it, you are looking at it from the "my 2.0 can beat your 5.0" standpoint. you are saying that the phrase means: a motor with more displacement should always be faster. but you disagree with this statement...you said it's a 'crock' remember? therefore you think that small displacement engines can be as fast as large displacement...ie a 2.0ltr can beat a 5.0ltr
and by the way, im not arguing the validity of any of these statements im trying to point out the form of the argument itself. itself. (im a in a philosophy class so this is good practice for me )
