shepz said:as you's may tell im not a fan of ricers...v-tec all cock and no balls where's the torque?its all bhp figures.
and to whoever compared a 1.6 v-tec against a 1.2 turbo there's no comparison really
the sound of them aswell....they go from a sort of light hairdryer noise into a full on junkie stuker suicide bomber...its not pretty
v-tec just doesnt really cut it for me....but a turbo v-tec i definatly would
Agreed. Torque figure on a civic is 147lb/ft (IIRC) and the bhp is 197. Where as you look at the torque figure of a cinq sporting 67lb/ft (IIRC) and the bhp is only 54. Then take the rest of the fiat range and the torque figures are always good against the bhp. The coupe is 220bhp with 229lb/ft. thats the direct comparison against turbo vs v-tech. There is only 20bhp in it but the coupe will clear the quarter mile over a second quicker (IIRC).
