God damn, I hate this kind of thread, makes me want to get a B18 and drop it in a civic and have my buddy race me in it. There is more to winning a race than torque and there is more to it than Hp. Driver skill, motors condition, yada, yada, yada. I raced a 1999 DOHC 2.0L bored over (no I don't know what to) I/H/E, 150hp@6500 and 133ftlbs@5500 (stock) with a curb weight of 2470lbs, are you ready?, NEON, in my DOHC 1.6L stock internals, I/H/C/E 160hp@7600 and 111ftlbs@7000 weighing in at 2044 pre me weight. Point is, we were dead even starting and he pulled about half a car ahead all the way to about 80mph. So see, even bigger numbers don't always add up to a victory, even though I was behind, with those "numbers" he should have been much better off.
