The way I see it, is you can brag all day how high your engine can rev..I'm still going to laugh when I beat you.

As for the comment about a RSX-S running 11s with 270whp I can highly doubt that. I know of a few guys with 300 whp/290 ft-lbs in a GTI running 11.8- 12.0 with a semi-gutted car. Some guys need to think before they start throwing numbers. My brother has a VW 1.8t putting down around 215 whp/250 wft-lbs and pulls a lot harder bottom end vs. my SS but doesn't have enough top end to keep up.
I am not sure why the comment was made that GM had to put the Supercharger on there to get 100 hp/liter. Hell there are V8s that don't put down 50hp/liter. And not everyone wants a engine that takes till redline to create any reasonable about of power and still have half any normal engines torque. If you want to talk trash about higher reving why don't you talk about the Street bikes that rev to 13k-15k and still create more power than a honda engine all over the board.

alright now think of a 600cc 4 wheeler that might have 1 huge cyliner...sohc with one carb....and a rather restrictive quiet stock exhaust...it wouldnt even come close to the hp that the gixxer makes...

....Lots of people consider Fords move to OHC one of their worst, the LSX motors are widely considered better ... infact unless you are looking for smothness fords OHC motors fall short of the pushrod LS serries

Yup, all the cars you've mentioned lack torque.
Don't care if you could take it up to 20,000 rpm, your car is still slow.

Most Honda's come with some crazy ass gearing to make up for the lack of actuall Tq the motors make. Honda thought out what they where doing. Its not like they designed these motor and where like "Damn it Jim we for got to put torque in our motors. They'll never be fast and can never win races".

See since he traped higher than you at that point that means he was going faster than you right? So If he was going faster than you that means he was pulling away. The longer the race went It might have gottend worse. No guarentee that you woulda came back by 140 mph. If you weren't getting walked he would have been a car and a half ahead of you and you would traped almost the same. him doing almost 2mph more than you translates to you got walked.

i've got a few vids and it looks like they can go 40+ in first and around 65ish in 2nd.
Edit: Actually it looks like 1st tops out at 40. But the vid I'm watchin the car has it's redline raised a few hundred rpms.
