At 2600 rpm, the BRZ is making 30 lb-ft more than the RSX-S! Also consistently makes 20-25 lb-ft more across the board.
Honestly though, the real beauty of the k20 series engines is how much untapped potential they have. 200whp is possible with I/H/E/T thanks to a very free-flowing head (i.e., variable lift valves/VTEC). |
I have been looking for something like this for a long, long time. I hope this is true since I always said to myself I wish my RSX had about 25-35 extra Tq in the low to mid-range. :happy0180:
