I like when people use "numbers" in their arguments, normally that is a good thing, but they don't use the right ones.
All the above shows is that the argument of the "I rather have more torque" is really stupid and is ONLY used by people who feel they have inferior performing cars. You can see above that even with less torque the Civic is better performing.
Look how close the ST is to the Civic DX for performance...that's scary, .5L more displacement, 11more HP and 26 ft. lbs more torque for that little difference...LOL
It's not all about the HP and torque numbers.
With that said, I challenge any Focus on here to a dyno shootout, or 1/4 mile shootout, or "hwy pull" with my old grandpa, automatic car, if I lose I'll buy you lunch.
Code:
Yr model Engine HP Torque 0-60 1.4 mile
2006 Si 2.0L 197hp 139 ft. lbs 7.2 15.6
2006 Dx 1.8L 140hp 128 ft. lbs 8.18 16.44
2006 ZX3 2.0L 136hp 133ft. lbs
2006 ZX4ST 2.3L 151hp 154 ft. lbs 7.9 16.1
