A speed related phrase...... or at least that's where I've associated it all my life...heard many times at the racetrack pits, and uttered it often myself.
If everything else is equal, the engine with more cubic inches is faster.
People on ATV forums say it too. Generally speaking a 500cc has more power than 400cc, but if the 500 is a 4-stroke and the 400 is a 2-stroke then it's a different story.
