I think you're sidetracking. The discussion wasn't intended to be about about your freakin' mustang vs econobox civics, it's about whether volume is the end-all-be-all of engine performance. As has been said, there's lots of ways to make power - build your engine bigger, spin it faster, increase the pressure, etc. In your car, the approach is to use a big, heavy engine - but clearly that's not the only way to make a practical, useful vehicle.

And - technology is absolutely a replacement for size. Compare the power/volume of older engines to the power/volume modern engines - even the stock 5.0 for a couple of mustang gens ago to the 4.6 that replaced (and makes more stock power).
