> [@Cliff](#): > > Yet again, the car was not built to go fast in a straight line. :headbang On circuit cars it’s torque that pulls it past the apex of each and every corner. Car could have tens of thousands into suspension tweaks and it doesn’t mean jack squat if you don’t have enough torque to drive it 10/10ths of the suspension/tire setup capability out of a corner. I could give two shits how fast a car goes straight line from a dead stop. I’ve made that pretty clear numerous times :ponder ---

since when did hondas need a lot of torque? and 180 out of a n/a 2.0L is impressive, id like to see other companies do that… doesnt look like he needed a lot of torque to beat out vipers and rx7 around the track… ---
