290-320hp at the wheels
310-330ft-lbs at the wheels

The fact that you fail at turbo Hondas is your own fault, not the car's fault. None too surprising then that you think your new mid 13 second ---- pile is "fast".
Depreciation is a percentage value, not a fixed amount. That means the starting price of the vehicle has nothing to do with it. The best cars in the world (according to you) suffer from massive depreciation, while those shitty import cars (again, only according to you) hold so much value that it often frustrates used car shoppers. Your lack of appreciation for what resale value represents (the quality of the car) is due to your own stupidity. No one buys a car to make money on it, but good cars hold value infinitely better than dumbestic ----.
Oh, and of course your car gets decent gas mileage, all slow cars do. No power = good gas mileage

Thought there were a couple stock F Bodies in the 12s?? Has Honda put something out that runs 12s for under 50k stock with a warrenty?

its only common sense to know that a car that is initially costs much more is going to hold its value better. if there is 9 million malibus out there and 500,000 lexuss they're going to be worth more used...
13 second stock = pretty fast.
better than your car was stock. and i never bragged about my camaro being the ultimate fast sweet machine stock
but my mustang is faster than your car, and its built better to. last time i checked my 2nd gear still works making almost double the hp and more than double the torque of your car.
hey, what car do you drive when your project car is broken i drive a 01 ls1 z28 camaro....

It's called a turbo... I was going to say EG, but then I realized you could even put an EK D-series in the 12's for $5,000 including the price of the car. Who needs a warrenty when you could make 10 of the car for the price you specified.

And no, a 13.5 @ 103 is laughable. Not fast, hardly even quick.

And again, your failure at turbo Hondas does not extend to everyone else.
