I just looked it up and the Type R had: 195@8000 hp and 130@7500 torque (high revver) and the GS-R (which was cheaper, by a good amount and less rare, and made all 7-8 years of the model run instead of 2) 170@5900 and 166@1950 torque (hmm, thats a little low on the rpm's but thats what the site said...)

bull

no i4 honda engine with vtec has max torque that low. i have been in a gsr and you cant even feel it moving untill you are at about 45mph in second gear at 6k rpm.

the only reason that car is "fast"(actually less slow than celicas) is the high compression and the sudden increase in hp around 5k rpm. the car is made for wide open tracks with long sweeping curves. the car is by no means a 1/4 mile car

that is the gsr, the type r has an even higher CR and lower torque with all the power higher up. the only reason the car is better is because it has different suspension and lighter body. in the US they were sold in 97-98 and 2000-2001 i think. at first they didnt have AC and none have sunroofs. all have stock racing seats. the car is more rare and that is the bonus. aside from that the car is maxed out. bolt ons wont help much and lots of internal reworking will be needed to make more power.
