it'd be a laughing stock otherwise.
an idiot can tell u y mucsle cars put out more torque, much less
ask the same question. it takes 5 or more litres of hardcore
displacement to do that. it so easy to get more torque outta bigger
displacement. if i want torque, i can go buy myself a
bulldozer.
i'm talking bout the science of performance here. not to disrespect
the cooper, which is IMO, a very well accomplished piece of
machinery. it took decades for mini to achieve this level of
performance compared to one for honda to go through 2 incarnations
of vtec to come out with the current i-vtec.
btw, in a REAL race, nobody drives at low
rpms.[/b]
Agreed, The Honda Vtec Engine is one of the most amazing
technologies built to date.
