theres this thing called thottle modulation. you dont go wot around a corner ,you control the power. yes i can see you driving into a wall with your experiance this "unbalanced hp".

theres also this thing called having a low compression low displacement motor with no powerband until 5 thousand ------- rpms where boost/power hits like a brick wall and rips tires loose and your front end pushes out. Compaired to a car with a more even powerband like an ecotec where it would have the torque to pull itself out of the lower rpm range and the ability to still get it on the straights. P.S. whats the point of having 400hp on a track car if you cant hammer the throttle without ripping the tires up. or you cant get on it coming out of a turn.

let me know when youve actually driven something with that kind of power rather than reading me powerband #s.

Let me know when you're done thinking a turbo 400hp honda handles like a race car and gains low end torque because you're not pushing the throttle down all of the way.

even i know a 400hp civic would be a pain in the *** to drive, and i know ---- about cars. the closest thing i have driven are the newer V6 fwd sedans and those ------- suck bad, i cannot imagine how worse it would be in a lighter more powerful car.

i drive a 1.8t and i decided a long time ago, that i will not go past a stock vw(or audi)turbo with this car, just doesn't sound appealing. now the next car will have quattro, so i will probably reconsider my statement then.
