Eww...guess we better PRAY it's light enough, cause Honda's are weak in the torque department. Just don't see that working to well for the drift circuit.

I hope the FR doesn't feel so gutless. It may have similar stats when its all said and done but I better be able to feel the car move.

RX8 fells the same way. A flat curve is great for the track (maintains traction most of the time), but they suck for DD and they suck for Drifting to have Honda Torque numbers. The upside is we won't have to wait for VTEC to kick in so at least it won't be a fat snail in low rpms.
