Well for one I believe you are on a K-series? Which is pretty much the highest factory quality motor that Honda makes, and holds together much better than anything else to begin with. 450whp isn't destroying anything in that department You're tire spin is probably protecting the drivetrain. You're actually in a pretty good safety zone as far as hondas go. Push em to the extreme and you have parts breakage everywhere. Make no power and you break parts left and right due to wheel hop and other problems related to incomplete builds with insufficient drivetrain modifications.

But Mitsubishi still will ALWAYS have better traction...
Lets also not forget Honda made aerodynamic cars that arent the size of boats. For instance the NSX.
Do you posess any reading comprehension skills? Apparently not. Because this conversation was about AWD Eclipse vs some junk FWD honda that you own. If you read what I said, I used the word Eclipse, not Mitsubishi. And unless you did a body swap, the NSX is irrelavent. Nobody cares about the NSX anyways, it's the most expensive 14 second car ever.
I don't know why you guys are arguing about gas mileage. I get like 10-15mpg city with my turbo 4 cyl. Of course I also am on the gas 50% of the time. Who really gives a shit? We're making power not saving the environment.

Drop your compression to 7.5:1 and turn off VTEC and how much power do you make?
It goes both ways, fucktard. Stupidest arguement ever!

Factory turbos that blow seals? I have an OEM Mitsubishi turbo on my beater that has 200,000 miles on it and the seals are fine. The problem is when idiot failtard ex-honda owners buy DSMs and don't know what boost leaks are, and drive the cars around overspinning the shafts for 10,000 miles at double their intended shaft speed just to make 5 lbs of boost while they complain the car is slow because they don't understand the physics of pressure and leaks.

Last time I checked a race starts from a dig. Try again? Hondas have the power/weight advantage till they start losing all their traction. Then the tables turn.

ok? This was the most pointless comment of the entire thread.
By the way, the fastest gasoline powered FWD 4 cyl on the planet is an DSM. How does that taste?
