As a former b16a owner I would say...

As a road course motor I think it found its home

As a daily driver it doesn't have the low end torque one enjoys because you don't get to rev the engine to its happy point

With pnp work - and I rode in one done by David - it wakes up the low end and the daily d becomes fun

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
