Thats exactly how it seemed, rather sluggish off the
line, but it was definetely quick at higher speeds. I
couldn't imagine seeing that car with 400+ horsepower,
that would be insane. How are they compared to a
Prelude, my buddy just got a '99 Prelude, those things
have some amazing handling, and are fast as hell, he
gave me a good spankin yesterday.
