Acura and Honda= no torque. Not 1 car has close to 300lbs of torque. Acura and Honda= High revving engines. Gotta get to 7000rpm to make your power. Nothing wrong with it, that is their way.

Actually you dont need to. They're both successful young businesswomen who purchased them on their own. I know that for a fact because I've known them both since 1st grade

Well thats because Honda doesn't build any engines above 3.5 liters. About the most you'll ever squeeze out of there is 300 foot pounds of torque after a LOT of modifications and it'll then be so rough/coarse and won't past emissions standards.

Though if they ever build that 6 cylinder diesel they're rumored to be working on....
