Today 02:44 PMAzn rice racerthe k20 is in the acura rsx-s and that will not beat a evo unless they're going 140-150 range but if they were than that sedan wouldnt be gaining on them

maybe if you knew who i was before claiming i am not a car enthusiast, then you would understand. should you have properly read to the quote you pulled from me, you would have noticed i was talking about civics. i am not understanding how the <130hp motors with some sad torque ratings are a strong NA engine. if you love honda so much, go post on their forums instead of bashing people on a mitsu forum who dont like them. and if honda doesnt need a lot of people to make them look good, then they sure have a shiitload that are making them look bad with videos like this.

1:1 power to weight ratio??? WTF are you talking about??? A 1:1 p/w ratio means 1 HP per pound of vehicle weight...you know of a 2000+ HP Civic???

this would be cool if we were in 1995 & even with a K20 top speed is ltd to about 126-130. evo is geared for 150 & neither idiot can drive...

i am pretty sure that the k series engine in the type r civic is the same motor as the rsx type s.
anyway, i think its possible that a k20 civic hatch can kill an evo anytime of the day.

I swear why do people keep showing the same videos over and over again, let me guess next we get to see the EVO guy who talks crap to the M3 owner and then loses. Come on that K20 Hatch video is old dude, and has been discussed greatly. Stop bringing back the dead!
