Did not mind back in 1997 when I could get a 200HP Prelude SH. But 15 years later...

I was just about to respond with something along these lines. I think editors and testers tend to nag about the horsepower because the rest of the car performs so well as it is. I'm not going to pretend like all these testers 'don't know how to drive' or only want muscle cars or that I'm even a half-decent driver myself. But, I think a lot of the times when magazines take the twins to the tracks, they are driving the car to the point where they can tell the chassis is outperforming the engine. I think, and I think we can all agree, that the chassis could easily handle a lot more performance from the engine and that's why it's always mentioned in the publications.
