Are they turbocharged?

I don't know a lot about japanese cars, but I've driven a few 2.0L normally aspirated cars (including a 1.8 celica GT with supposedly 180hp stock) and wow, not even close to a turbo car.

I think the civic has less than 140 ft/lb torque or something like that no?

Im talking about bone stock. On paper they arent close

What a stupid show... It's got all the objectivity of Top Gear, without the entertainment.

Sorath or not GTI is way faster at our altitude at least in the drags.

what if you put one of those sticks with a dangling carrot at the end, but instead of a carrot maybe a 5 yr old with a hello kitty doll?
