Take the Integra type R.

Name me more engines in large scale production that will do that kind of thing.

Welcome to the forum.
But Im sorry to say 195hp is 195hp is 195hp, doesn't matter what engine its coming from, or what RPM its made at.
And 195hp is certainly underpowered for a "performance car" that weighs what yours does(not saying its heavy though).

If you bother to read any of my posts you will see that I actually prefer handling to acceleration. But that does not mean I will sacrifice lots of acceleration for handling, mainly because I have to go completely out of my way to find some twisties.
