why bother with a turbo

[inspiron]

hey i see alot of you folks with your hondas are thinking about investing in a turbo whell i have a good idea why not instead of investing in a $2000 turbo\super charger to up you honda horsepower from 130 to 200 just buy a car that allready has 200 horsepower like a buick (205 hp)

Well, I'm not so big on turbos/superchargers but I think most people get the low hp hondas because they are cheaper to buy, mantain, and insurance is cheaper. They also are lightweight and quicker. As goes for the buick being 205 hp the 2003 accord is 230+hp stock. That's pretty good for that boring looking car. Also many of the older accords were 200hp stock. So, that's some reasons why people stick with honda. Also it's amazing to see these small, weak powered cars but transformed into a racing machine and can stand up against mustangs.

Call me crazy, but I think something as small and light as an average honda will be a heck of a lot more fun to drive with 200 hp than my Grandmas Buick.

lol, read this fools one other post, he talks about adding a supercharger to a Buick LeSabre. Hey, why don't you just get something that has 300 hp to begin with, like a Camaro?

1. buicks are not boring cars (ex park ave ultra)
2. hondas are light (3000lbs) but so is a camero and used they both cost near the same amount
3. and 240HP (3.0L) HOLY SHIT! thats as much as a chevy impalla ss (supercharged) i never knew imports could be that powerfull
4. thanks for the reply

3,000 pounds is one heavy ass honda. My old Civic weighed 2200. Friends CRX weighs about 1600. My N600 weighs 1100.
