Yeah....that is true.....but with the 6 you are so far ahead of the 4....

For instance...7th gen
i4: 166 HP, 160 ft-lbs torque
V6: 244 HP, 211 ft-lbs torque

You have a margain of 78 horses to just break even with the 6...and aftermarket mods love the 6 cylinder engines. A simple SRI on the 4 banger causes an increase of 1-3 HP....but on the 6, the same modification raises the HP by 5-8.

Let's say the 6 and the 4 had the traditional I/H/E setup.
i4: 166 + 3 + 4 + 4 = 177 HP (not even close to the 244)
V6: 244 + 6 + 6 + 5 = 271 HP

That's almost 100 horses difference. The only way to beat this 6 is basically a 20m race...since the 4 is a lot peppier and picks up like a snap (if the V^ is auto). If the V6 is 6 speed....gg.

:-/

But Honda's 4 bangers are legendary. So, in a sense, we are in that elite class.
