Here is an example of that, two ford motors... On the left is a 4.6 and on the right is a 5.0

Those are valid metrics as well. Think about some of the markets where these cars sell. They actually tax displacement, the weight and size of the motor alone won't impact that. They have to engineer a total solution and hp/liter is part of that overall solution. No one metric (even weight to power) give you everything you need to design a good performance car.
