They are heavier than a civic yet have about the same torque down low. You have to rev em to high and forever, and yers ive driven around civics. My best friend had a civic si that I driove everytime we hung out cuz it got good gas mileage. I like carrs with torque tho so base that on what I say.......anyway it sounds sick at 9000 tho...it is slow for how expensive it is. Isnt it like 6.2 or something or 5.7 with an incredible driver? for 30,000? Ridiculous, when everything in its class is faster. Also with more torque....What was so unbelievable about what I said? I never said it was stupid fast, or had torque, or came anywhere even close to saying it had power down low. What do you think I'm 'kidding' about?
As Scotty pointed out, I own a 'non-pussy' AP1. I've never been driving "around town" and felt like I needed another 100ft/lbs at 3k so I could floor it in a 35mph zone and be happy. I'd like to think that no one here does need that, but it is a fun thing to have. When I wanna have fun, I drop a gear or three and there's plenty of power to make me happy.
Make all the 'all the lag none of the turbo' or 'VTEC is like waiting for bad sex' jokes you want. You'll have to excuse me for not buying the fastest straight line car that I could for $22k.
