people switch from a 6 cylinder to a 4 cylinder because it weighs less not because it performs better thats like saying I got a 3.0L I want to get a 2.5L for more power it just isnt plausible.

It's not necessarily pointless switching to a smaller engine. Especially in the case where the smaller engine has more potential than the bigger engine. Also, take note that a RB26DETT (2.6L) can perform as well as a 2JZ-GTE (3.0L), despite the displacement difference.

Only to a degree though more cpacity is gonna eventually come to more power or be able to work better with the amount of power even if the smaller engine can handle... still its different opinions and unlike kamikazi we express them in a calm rational manner but its hard to say who is right b/c there are many applications for it.
