183bhp, 115lb/ft torque. Not sure on the weight, but its light. 0-60 in 5.7 for the N1, a tiny bit more for the normal EK9.

Vtec kicks arse!

EK9's are lovely cars and in my opinion are the best of the range although the EG6 is a bit more fun which is why i chose that! wouldnt touch the EP3 with a bardge pole.

if you want a real honda exsperiance you either have to get out in something with a H22A2 or a K20, in my opinion they are both on the same par but some people will argue that!

but yes evry nice cars!

thing with an ek9 is it doesnt feel that quick until you go head to head with something.

They dont have anything to back up the 183bhp or whatever it is, I love the cars but they deffo need a turbo kit, but for that money i'd just buy a white evo 5, But thats me, Cars need torque at the end of the day unless they have no carpets, seats, trim, dash etc

yep thats true, power without torque is as bad as torque without power, for a fast car you need both

they weigh 1090kg, not exactly heavy. and folk always bang on about how they lack torque, its a 1.6, its not going to have huge torque, fuck, mine has 20lb/ft more than a 106 gti, and you dont here people complaining about them lacking torque.

A turbo car will always nearly feel quicker than a similar-ish N/A car.

yes, i was actually going to add, thats why diesels sometimes arentfaster then the petrol equivalents with half the torque.

however considering i didnt even mention my car, im assuming your using is in a attempt to yet have another dig

no just stating that you do not need both to have a fast car

Depends how you are measuring performance

From standing start power will provail. In gear the torque is required. once in tripple figures power is required to overcome the emense drag
