well obviously your going to have more hp with a boosted mini-me then a d16a6 but with a mini-me you have more chance of blowing you engine....mini-me= high compression, unless you build it to have low compression so its really hard to pic one unless you set a budget....so if i had money i would boost the mini-me and build it right....but im poor so i say stick with the d16a6!

D16A6 for the win.

Your poll will end up showing most people voting mini-me. Most people are wrong. They just hear the word VTEC and ASSume it means something.

I'll be more than happy to post up stock A6 dyno charts that blow away mini-me and SOHC VTEC engine power output. They have the best heads, period, and make the best power despite 0.5mm smaller valves, period.

id like to see those dyno sheets.....just for curiousity. i thought A6's had 110hp and z6/y8's have 126/127hp? and a mini-me of the A6 would make it obviously have a little higher compression for more power than the z6.... or were you talking about a stock A6 turbo'ed vs a stock Z6/mini-me turboed the A6 puts out more

actually those are hondas horsepower figures not dyno numbers. the a6 was a very underrated motor compared to the z6 and the z6 was overrated...thats why a lot of b7 only lose to z6 stock for stock by 1-2 cars,and have a shittier tranny...wtf
