dont knock 115bhp that all i got :P only in a 1.5 though. That is a stupid drag race of course the veyron will win having 10x the power.The manin point is honda dont need to give up on engineering and slap on forced induction. With a high quality engine that can rev high they can produce alto more bhp/litre than similar stock cars. But alot of Jdm cars are not just honda.

h22 i wanted to get a ek9 type r but cannot afford £7k so i was lookin at the prelude sir. what model did you have??

[h22a]

had a 2000 model Vti, I really wanted the ITR but i ran out of patience. The lude was a great car mate, cheap to service($380 for the 95K service- timing belt etc) good on juice(10Litre per 100k's) and a joy to drive. Once vtec got going(i think around 5300rpm) it really got moving, lacked torque low down though which pissed me off considering i had an auto(DONT BUY THE AUTO) so i couldnt stall it up. The sportstronic was allrrightt, it allowed you to go past red line plus down changes you could get some compression lock(probably not the best thing for an auto). I'd recommend a lude to anyone who wants a car with a bit of performance and some nice luxurys. a great entry level GT

If your wondering why i bought a auto, its because i bought it off the old duck for a very worthy price..........dont buy an auto, i've driven the manual and its much quicker of the line

the reason i brought up the veyron and all that stuff is that guy was saying forced induction sucks so i had to list a few amazing cars that utilize it.

the veyron is a well engineered car. i didnt really mean forced induction sucks because it is needed to pass the n/a potential of any engine once its fully tuned. But i dont see the point in whacking one on and when the engine that is hardly engineered/developed just to get numbers on paper and money in pockets. Honda make engines work just as efficiently in the first place without the need for a turbo.
