Codeo,
If your not a ricer a apologize for calling you one. It?s very rare that I see a stock looking Civic SI in the ATL. You got to see it from a Mustang owner?s point of view. For every tastefully modded civic I see? I get ten ricers that want to race me, because my car is a target.
The V8 is about low end Torque, you can?t compare specific outputs on HP. In order to get a high specific output you have to give up torque (n/a).
For example? As I mentioned I raced an Acura CL Type-S:
Mustang:
260hp / 302tq
Acura:
260hp / 224tq
I walked him bad! His specific output is higher than mine, but I beat him due to the torque advantage. I get the torque advantage because of more displacement.
What exactly are you guys driving at with the specific output argument? What does it prove, if you lose the race because you're lacking torque
