I only have 146 ft pds of torque- its more then enough with the gear i have for the tires to hold the pavement in 2nd, you ride bikes zero why dont they have like 600 ftpds oh yeah they dont need it.
Those types of cars (hight HP civics) are the ones that scare me the most!!

Its so unexpected, then BAM, they're gone.

That is unless you can see a huge FMIC...then you know somethin is goin on. heh

My thing is that I like for things to be well balanced.... and personally, I think if you're tuning to have the highest hp number to show off, you're tuning wrong. If you could tune for 500whp and 200ft-lbs, or 390hp and 350ft-lbs, theoretically, which one do you think the average person is going to want? ...and it's not because of traction issues that they would pick the higher hp and lower torque. It's because people want to brag about making a million useless horsepower. I just like balance, that's all. Sometimes it's not possible, and I'm not saying the best tuning is balanced tuning.. I just think it's a lot easier to make a high peak horsepower than it is to make real torque.

Besides, isn't the S2000 RWD?

JDM AP1 is a silver s2k with a carbon hood, 16's or 17's with high offset. Really clean car, he goes to Virginia Western with me. Seems like a cool guy I wouldn't think he would rev on people and do a ricer fly by but maybe he would. He's in his mid 20's, has had a 240 in the past and an RX7 that he used to drive to school.

The turbo grey one says "suprior" on the tags, i don't know anything about it but it's turbo. The one that was white and kitted out is now gunmetal gray as well and I believe may be supercharged, I haven't talked to him in a while.

The F20C is a pretty amazing motor but expensive and hard to make good linear power out of.

It was me, i love teh american muscle, especially the Zs - they are better than anything else in de werld.




I had a gray civic hatch revv at me at a stoplight last weekend, the wheels were 15" steelies, fully tucked, loaded with about 4 guys. He was just the coolest, hitting the rev limiter in 1st gear about 3 times, then he finally found 2nd! By that time i was carlengths behind, damn he was so fast He gets at least 10 cool points for that one hahahaha
