yea, its like 6lbs of boost......who cares if its only 493 hp when theres almost 600 torque at 1800 rpms

 

[Mr. Jollypants]

thinking the same thing.

^^^don't know why its so hard to believe
older audi s4 motors were a twin turbo 6 cylinder and only made 250 and i'm sure that was more than just 6lbs of boost. the motor is capable of more, its pretty much the same one in the s65 amg, just downtuned so they could actually sell s65's. its a freakin boat of luxury and still does a respectable 11.9 in the quarter, which is faster than vipers, porsche gt2, murcielago's

ehh...

theres other cars i would rather have for 140k

oh, and peak torque at 1800? no thank you.

 

[Mr. Jollypants]

I find it funny they have to remind MB retards to put the key in the igition.

 

[Szady]

^^ B/c they spend their life savings on a peice of overpriced metal, they want to make sure the car gets used.

Wheres the motor shots at?

[eskateboarding7]

with gas over 4 bucks, he can keep his v12, I'll stick with 4 cylinders :]

 

[tienr]

peak torque is carried from 1800 all the way to around 4000....so ur sayin u don't want 600 ft lbs? sure, WE would rather buy something else for $140k cuz most of us here are young. , and would rather get something that is fast or whatever. when your in your 40's, most people get out of the game

funny how i could throw up a picture of a factory usdm type r up, and almost everyone drools, but people seem to not appreciate some fine german engineering

o, and it doesn't waste that much gas, cuz it switches to 6 cylinders on the highway

Welcome to a Honda forum..

And I personally would take an ITR over a mercedes most days out of the week. Nothing against the Benz, I just prefer my small Japanese engineered vehicles.
