But is doesnt make the kick *** grumble of an old American Muscle car. So I guess all that matters is what you like the best, not what other people think.
Not sure about outrunning a muscle car. Sure it has 227 HP (250 if you hollow out the converter) but the raw overhead power just isn't there. Outhandling... yeah, I'll give it that... no American muscle car was deisgned for rally racing nor AWD.
And you are 100% correct -- it's what you like, not what other people think. I mean honestly... you can brag all you want about specs, but how often are you going to be able to drive a car to its full potential?
Ooooooh you put an oversized exhaust on your Honda and it sounds like a 2-stroke lawnmower, I'm so impressed. Then you have to mash the brakes so you don't run the red light. Bet you go through brake pads like a mofo. Performance is nice but looks come out ahead 9 times out of 10 if you're out to impress.
