You, like the majority of domestic guys, wrongfully assume all imports = Honda. First of all, technically European cars and Korean cars are imports as well...not Japan only. Secondly, I'm actually attempting to emulate a domestic with my project: my torque goal is 450 at the wheels, HP I dont care as much about. Granted I'm using a DOHC Inline turbo engine instead of a pushrod V roots, but thats where efficientcy and practicality come in.
