Wow, just below 200 hp an barely 117 lbft torque. I am so impressed with this. Check out what the Honda guys are writing on this forum. It's sad really.

True, it's not much, but you have to understand that that's even more hp than a Subaru WRX has, also that's not being FI'd. But 200whp for a light a** honda will be quick, and with 200whp it will beat a WRX.

ill agree its not much hp but it usually comes down to power to weight ratio. i just wish some of those honda guys would stop being such elitist. then again there are some elitists in every car group i guess.

True, but how easy is it to muster up 200 WHP on a wrx? I do love s2000 though (I know thats what you drive esracer.) They do act elitist though, when ever some loser pulls up next to me in a crappy crx or a del sol or a civic or even prelude, they always give me the dirtiest looks and then they speed off like a bat out of hell expecting me to want to race them.

It is very very easy to muster up the 200whp very easily just a few mods, but that's whats great about the turbo world, NA it's different, when you make some good power on NA it's an achievement, trust me I'm finding it a hard time with my S2000 that I'm not going to make any power by simple boltons, but o well. But yes I get annoyed by those types of hondaguys or nissan or whatever just those types of people in general. I find it after being involved with the Subaru community so far right now the S2000 community is good but not as close and the subarus, and there is still some of the riceyness in some people.

Glad to have you man. I agree, whenever I drive past someone else in a subaru, especially a WRX or an STi, I always wave and I pretty much always get a wave back, not because someone told me to or I figured I should do it because I saw someone else do it, just because it seems like the right thing to do for some reason. Anyways, I can't speak for the rest of us, but you're cool by me as long as you are not snotty when you pull up next to me.

yeah it seems with the exception of some sti guys when i wave at wrx guys they wave back and thats when im in my mr2. i guess it just a different community. or maybe it's just boost envy.
