Replying to: kenlw (Sep 26, 2008 10:38 am) We're just explaining why they aren't very plausible with this extreme powertrain tuning. I'm not ignoring a thing. Replies to this message: kenlw (Sep 30, 2008 10:44 am) thegraduate (Sep 30, 2008 11:37 am)

Replying to: thegraduate (Sep 28, 2008 12:00 pm) my comments weren't directed at you in particular, it's just the way the forum is set up... but 2L or 1.8L, it's still a 4 cylinder civic for pete's sake. Some folks would gladly trade "performance" for a bit of power.   even tossing 25-30% with an auto, the 2L would still give you more power than the 1.8L (with auto). It's just that simple. Even tho personally i am perfectly able to use a manual and have in years past, my present needs just don't warrant a manual. (Driving 60-80 miles a day in Houston traffic isn't exactly cut out for performance of any type! ...endurance, yes, performance, no....)   Granted, the lack of torque at useable speeds would remain a handicap for most normal drivers, there's just no getting around the fundamental shortcomings of a high-rpm, low torque power plant for most urban drivers, manual or auto. Altho the auto would exacerbate the problems, it would still provide a bit more power for those that want it. Replies to this message: thegraduate (Sep 30, 2008 11:37 am)

Replying to: kenlw (Sep 30, 2008 10:44 am) A more plausible engine for this car, if you wanted an automatic, would be the 2.0L from the Acura CSX (in Canada).   2.0L i-VTEC I-4   155hp at 6,000 RPM 139lb-ft at 4,500 RPM
