Enzo, you are right that a Mustang would beat a Honda off the line. However racing on city streets is irresponsible and where it count the most as on back roads, top end power is a tad more important than buckets of torque @ 2000rpm. Some of you might be very good driver but the average driver is better off in a front driver. I often can go much deeper in to a curve on a 4 lane highway than a guy in a pony car b/c of the reassuring understeer. Those guys have probably spun before so they get very tentative especially with decreasing radius curves. As far as the debate about specific output is concern, the 911 turbo has two turbos, costs $100K, puts out 115 hp/l. The $32K S2000 puts out 120 hp/l. That says something about the engineering superiority of Honda. Dodge sucks. Bought a Neon for my girlfriend b/c she thinks it's cute. She drove it for 16K miles and took it to the dealer 5 times for two different problems. One was never fixed. Traded it in for an Accord. It has 115K miles on it, no problem and looks like it can go another 100K with minimal repairs. Hondas are not exciting out of the box but on a dark night in the middle of nowhere, I rather drive a Honda than anything else.
