The 1.8L four in my grandmothers corolla easily breaks traction and it far zippier than the other cars I've driven. (1.4L 4cyl, 2.4L 4cyl, 3.0L V6) Nowadays head design, good programming, porting, and forced induction change power more than displacement or cylinders. A Euro Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR FQ-400 makes four hundred horsepower off a 2.0L four. A Toyota/Lexus 2GR-FSE 3.5L V6 makes 300 hp. A Honda K20A makes 220 hp of a naturally aspirated 2.0L four. Some of the old B series Honas made 200hp off 1.8L. A 2JZ-GTE 3.0L straight six makes 300hp. A Honda C32B makes 288hp on a 3.2L V6. Subaru STi 2.5L boxer four 300hp. The previously mentioned S2000's F20 (or is it F22, I can never remember) makes 200hp. The 2.3L mazda MZR (as seen in the mazdaspeed 6) makes 276hp. A Dodge SRT-4 makes something in the neighborhood of 240hp on 2.4L. For reference a 2005 Ford Mustang GT makes 300hp off of a 4.6L V8. And, yes clutch dropworks, unless you're driving a JDM Honda Civic/Integra DC5 Type-R with their ultralight flywheel. (If you are all should worship you)

Sorry for double posting, but the Honda S2000, makes actually two-hundred and fourty bhp out of 2.0litres, Naturally aspirated. Highest bhp/litre figure of any car on the road. That of course was the pre-05 version, with the F20, the new ones have 2.2 litres(aka the F22), so it kinda makes it a little less now. They uprated the litreage(new word alert!) to give it more torque, and the rev's have been dropped from 9000 to I believe 8200.

PS-JDM cars aren't the holy grail of everything.

PPS-most of those engines you listed have forced induction, which kind of takes away from the goodness of it. Also, a Supra's 2JZ creates 330bhp, not 300.
