First of all... Acura is honda.. Its american honda...
Secondly most small motor (esp FWD) cars make more HP then they do Torque.. But to say moding a car isnt going to help anything is wrong. It usually is an detailed upgrade but can be taken care of with some sort of Forced Induction, or good All motor build.

Yes, I know that Acura is the American division of Honda, but they do have different cars from Honda e.g. The NSX.

The comment I made more HP than torque, you are right in saying that the majority of four bangers and a lot of sic cylinder cars put out more horse than torque. But I prefer to find cars that do, I was more or less just stating my preference, is should have been more clear. I for instance have a 1989 LeBaron GTC Turbo that is at 210 HP and 240 Torque. Originally it had 175HP and 210 Torque. Thus I picked that to mod rather than a lot of other cars. Because it is simple to increase your HP but it is hard to bring the torque up beyond the HP.

Very True.. Its alot easier to mod a car witha turbo then one without a turbo.. The great thing about the civic is there are so many turbo kits available that the hardest part about making it faster is deciding which kit you want to purchase..

The thing about the Lebaron is its probably alot harder to find aftermarket parts then it is to find them for a civic. Escpecially cams, pistons, etc.. Im not saying you cant find them or they dont make them, they just arent as plentiful and as easy to get.

:cry: It's true, it's all true.

Ya' they are considerably harder to find, but my car isn't a me too car. So I guess it made it worth the trouble for me.

yes... having a popular car has its advantages and disadvantes but most of the time its worth it.. If you need a part.. You can find it fast.. If you have a problem its easy to find someone that has had the same problem and knows how to fix it, not to mention its easier to find used stuff cheaper too..
