You're right BlueEyes, Honda's have diminutive torque numbers...I've always affectionately called them the torqueless wonders.:) Really the only Honda that interests me is the Integra GS-R or the ITR. The Civic Si is decent, but 111 lb.-ft. of torque is just sad. Of course 128 for the GS-R isn't great, but 111? Anyway, what I do like about Hondas is the top end. There is no power drop off on a Honda VTEC engine...it pulls all the way to and past redline...something I wish our KA's did. But at least we have the low end to make up for it.
About the pics, I don't mind the wild body kits, paint job, big rims, etc. so much as long as it looks HALF decent and they actually put the thing in shows. I figure it's just a different outlet for an interest in cars...you can show it, race it, or blast eardrums with your system...whatever you like to do--to each his own, I guess. The ones that get on my nerves are the sticker claden, wipers/trim painted different colors, tin can on 1" exhaust piping, just plain nasty looking rice-mobiles.
