Default Holdens V8- Capacity or engineering excellence?

I keep hearing figures for Holdens LS2 and the upcoming LS3 and how much of a joke our BOSS engines are in comparism. Last time i looked Ford have 290 kws from a 5.4 litre and Holden 270kws from a 6 litre!(think 302 and 307 for HSV AND FPV)
Have they got a gun engine or is it just about the cubes theyre throwing at it, id say a bit of both, but why do they need to get bigger and bigger especially in times of high fuel prices and enviromental issues, why do they bag our smaller capcity engine when its producing around the same power?..Is it just me or do other people share my thoughts?
