Lets not forget that bhp is just torques per revs. So high torque means it will pull stronger lower down the revs. So it might feel quicker, but when on it and keeping it in the high revs/max power the bhp figure is the number to look for.

So pretty much what I said, apart from the 'feeling' stronger lower down in the rev range as it will be stronger lower down all the way up until the high revs and peak BHP kicks in.

i bought one , had it 5 weeks board the tits off me sold it and got my self a m3

the type r is nice to look at and the engines bullit proof but i was getting 23mpg round town and i could get better or same from my p1 and the p1 was more fun

nice cars but not for me

stu

ps , mine even had a hondata ecu and full milltek on
so god only knows how a standard one gets around when the vtec kicks in 2k later
