Re: Flat / Boxer vs Rotary

Probably a crazy question to ask, but... Can anyone explain why Subaru is only able to get 252BHP from a 3.6L Flat 6 and Porsche can get somewhere about 296BHP from the same size engine???
I know both are well engineered engines with DOHC, etc and have impressive reliability. I thought Porsche helped Subaru develop the EZ series engines, so why the big difference in power???
