Again, I was the same way, but I could show you more than a few Honda's that destroy Big ol' V8's and their counterparts. Just because a vehicle doesn't make a ton of torque doesn't mean they can't be fast. This is where Honda sits. People think they're slow because they'll make an easy 400HP yet only net ~200 Ft Lbs TQ. The best example I can give you is an F1 or Indy car. They make Tons of HP and have jack sh*t for TQ. But they get 20k+ RPM. Your stock Civic can spin some 8.5k+ RPM stock.. Rotarys (RX7/RX8 etc) are another example. They spin up real quick and weigh nothing.

yea its sorta like that with modular engines higher rpm pulls. ive seen "fast civics" but you put a turbo'd civic against a turbo'd or twin turbo cobra the cobra is most likely gonna get the win, idk bout chevy engines ive heard they cant handle any boost for shit. in the end which would you rather have a cobra or a civic. cobras r much nicer looking IMO than a civic, and its still only a civic
