What would make it that much sweeter is if they had a front clip of a car built into the wall and they opened the hood to get to the grill haha. ---

[quote=“articzap,post:6,topic:32165"”] Civic because it takes less time to warm up. [/quote] But at the same time it would take twice as long to cook the same amount. HP (Heating Performance) - How quick you can heat it TQ (Tall Quantities) - How much you can heat Now if you toss in a VTEC (Variable Toastyness Exceptionally Crispy) flame-thrower it could even things out. ---

At the same time, running VTEC at higher boost levels might burn the food instead of cooking it. Requiring one to bypass it’s usage. Resulting in a lean, yet burned block of meat. ---

It’s entirely depandant on they type of cuts used, and how they were prepared prior to installation. No one wants to ruin a good BBQ, let alone on a cut with poor tolerances/low specifications. ---

But the vtec turbo would break halfway through the summer, leaving the chevy V8 owners with a monopoly on the sausage fests. Or hamburgers, or chicken. Whatever you please.
