While the torque peak might be at 6500rpm (:-o), I would invite you to

test drive my mildly modified Integra before you accuse it of having

little torque.  Grace's Miata doesn't come alive until 4000rpm... my

Integra pulls very nicely from 2500...  Who has very little torque?



Not bashing the Miata, no need to flame.  The Integra is still WWD and

I still haven't figured out how to detach the hard top... but let's

not go calling any kettles black here, okay? ;-)
