The 3.4 isn't actually that much better, displacement-to-power wise. Yes, I have driven both, and yes, I acknowledge that it is a night and day difference. I'm simply talking math here.

And that is why good analysis does not rely on one arithmetic illustration....

There is no comparison between the engines. The difference is the sum of many small refinements adding up in the best possible way.
