I don't think I've contradicted anything I've said at all. What I've been saying is: hp does not rise linearly with displacement (all else being equal). You and I agree to that. Prior to that, I haven't said anything about displacement taxes and racing regs, other than to say I seriously doubt the reason why F1 has displacement limits is because the cars were getting big and heavy. I already know large displacements are penalized in other countries. But unfettered from such restrictions (ie. in a totally free market), hp/l in and of itself is not a meaningful measure. Just like a peak hp number in and of itself tells you
nothing about how good (or bad) a car is. Surely, no one here argues for the opposite case?...
