Totally awesome isn't it? Wasn't the NSX the highes HP/liter for a while? I know that the Ferrari doesn't even have the same kinda output per liter (as of '99). What's freaky is Honda thinks they can get MORE out of it!!!

 

Oh, and BTW, that S2000 pulls dang hard!!!! Nothing like those G forces.

 

I read that the new RS-X was supposed to have a 2.5 inline 4 putting out about 260 hp. I dont know if they changed it sense I read about it but that was the last thing I read about it. Thats a sh** load of HP for a 4 cylinder that is naturally asperated. I LOVE HONDAS!!!

 

Don't be quick to disrespect the turbo.

It is much much much easier to mod a turbo car than a non-turbo
also,
When you drive slow you get great gas mileage b/c of 4Cyl vs. 6 cyl.

and the look of v8 drivers when you blow by them in your "little 4cyl" is priceless.

The S2000 is a great car, but IMO, needs a little more grunt(Torque)....In order to really drive the car, you gotta push it to it's limits...

Hell yea Turboara, I agree totally. There is something about being able to run 12's with a 4 and destroy an 8. It just puts things into perspective with the saying "dont judge a book by its cover". How would you feel if you had a corvette and a CRX pulled like 5 cars on you up to 120mph, I would feel pretty sorry.

 

I know that this has nothing to do with the TL, but I have to let you know. I have a friend with an 89 CRX who swaped an Integra Type-R engine in it and I believe that he is running like 20 some pounds of boost. One of my friends was rideing with him one day and they got in a race with a 2000 Vette and burned the S*** out if him down the highway. I thought it was pretty funny.


Yet I am not down sizeing the Vette cause I think it is a sweet car and I respect it for the amount of speed you can get for such a low price.

 

HAHA... Next thing u know, he'll strap a seat to a rocket.

 

yea, no sh**!!

 

i was comparing the TL to various cars....
and the the audi TT can do 225 hp with a 1.8L and the TL needs a 3.2 to do 225...i know it's a whole different class of cars..but still how come acura can't do that?
or if they do why won't they put it in the TL?

 

It has turbo, foo.

 

yeup turbo. plus it's an inline-4

 

phew!..thanks for reassuring me....

Memout hugs his TL

 

I hate Turbo, I'd take a smooth 6 over a 4 with a turbo anyday. That's one reason I want a TL and not a Volvo S60.

 

it's a turbo and chip...
