You have to hit 3600ish rpm before it even sees 50hp? Cmon now.....

That graph looks like a joke. Seriously every new turbo car thqats been put out has a flat torque curve across the whole powerband. It looks like someone used photoshop to shrink the 2.0t graph and drop it in the middle.

That is quite a different outcome compared to Road & Tracks dyno. I know results will differ between dyno types but I wouldn't think there would be such a huge difference.

Now that graph looks more reasonable.

Honda Corp headquarters is in Torrance, so that’s why the story shows Torrance. They also have testing facilities and stuff all there.

Hmm. Interesting. I always thought they were in riverside. I know they have a huge parts facility there.

Bulk of the Ron V fam lives garden grove, Torrance, Santa Ana, Westminster area. I’m there a lot. That’s why I was kind of shocked I didn’t know that. Being a small time Honda fan.
