I really hope you're not trying to say thats a non FI vr6... I'm pretty sure people are still struggling to break 200whp n/a from those motors.

it looks like a b series with a turbo manifold and and turbo and intake manifold and other normal turbo stuff. the car looks relatively stock. intercooler is tucked up in the bumper. nothing special looking, all the goodies are inside. yakno?

Wait.

Wait.
Wait.

I can get 20whp shy of 200 out of my stock motor but they can't get 200 out of a VR6?

A set of cams in my motor and I'd make 200. LOL!

I'm just saying, 400 wheel horsepower in the real world has to be at least decent. Forget all about dyno bragging and all that bullshit, I mean come on, 400hp in a sub-3000 pound car has to be a little exciting.

no its dangerous. and i semi hate it.

torque steer. (not much cuz its a honda but still some)
unexpecting lane changes when you hit boost.
tire spins at 60+ mph
160 mph runs which get very uncontrollable.
the fact that everyone who gets in the car wants to go fast. thinking its a damn taxi.
gas mileage sucks.

It is whenever I get in one. But just like anything else, after a while it's going to seem slow.
