It's not that impressive for a small, high reving engine -- they've been doing that with 4 bangers for
years!
Moreover, some older honda engines already far exceed that, so, again nothing to wake the neighbors over.
But as disappointed as I am in the power figures, the torque nnumber is even more depressing: 151 lbft.
All the insiders were claiming around 170 before the ofical specs were released -- that's a big let down. Another 20 lbft would have made a world of difference on this car.
Don't get me wrong -- I'm sure it will be a fantastic car to drive, but it really needs some sort of big power boost option, and given that it's a DI motor, what can be done by the aftermarket remains a big unknown...
