re: #198 Higgs Boson’s Mate
I’ve owned and driven cars at both extremes: an Austin-Healey 100-6 with a 3000 MK II engine and a FIAT 600 with an Abarth 850 Nurburgring Corsa engine. Each was fun in its own way though the Healey, with that big, torquey tractor engine, required a lot less effort to drive.
That’s the advantage of displacement over forced induction - the flat torque curve.
