500 HP Honda Civic

[freeradical]

How much torque did the engine it that little car develop?

[Uncle Wig]

I crush your puny automobile engines.

Don't misunderstand me, I have no problem with modern tiny motors. It just baffles me why someone would build a daily driver on the edge of self destruction?

With modern lubrication and metallurgy, you can easily get hundreds of thousands of miles from a motor if you don't abuse it.

Big engines???
Here's 10 minutes worth.

Well over 200,000 miles for my 1988 Honda Accord.

Got rid of it mostly because other family members didn't want to learn how to drive a stick.

I had a 1995 Honda del Sol with the twin-cam VTEC B16A3 engine. Boy that was fun. I miss it.

Those sure looked like fun cars. My next door neighbor had one, but would never let me drive it.

My cousin got rid of his V12 Jag convertible to snag a Honda del Sol VTEC when they first came out...

[Racer X]

If someone gave me one, I would happily drive it.
