i must admit... I'm a little jealous

Re: i must admit... I'm a little jealous (kingpinGTI)

Id give a rats ass about 10,000rpms... When theres no power at 3000rpms whats the use =D

Re: i must admit... I'm a little jealous (steez)

that's because the stroke of the engine is about >< that long. Short stroke, no torque. I'd take a 4000rpm redline with 300ft-lb of torque before a 10k rpm redline with 125ft-lb.

...i'd take 10000rpm in a light fast car over a slug of a vr6 or any golf anyday of the week. revving the crap out of an engine is tons of fun--if you want torque, drive a diesel.
bottom line: 10000rpm rules

riiiiight
sounds real good with those "cherry bomb" exhausts too

Re: i must admit... I'm a little jealous (AndrewT)

Bunch of honda bashing ignoramuses ....
a built B16A makes for one of the funnest cars to drive (esp. in a CRX)
that bike doesn't have a whole lot of torque either does it????
Its pretty damn fast isnt it???
build a B16A in a crx with 10,000 rpm redline you will have a pretty damn fast crx.
it'll kick the ass out of most N/A Vr6s I know

That's awesome, KingPin...Don't let these guys get you down...

Re: i must admit... I'm a little jealous (kingpinGTI)

My friend's GSR has a 9200 RPM redline with Toda Spec B cams. It is a blast to drive, no torque...but it doesn't need a lot to go fast. I don't care if the power doesn't come in until 5000 RPM...there is still another 4200 RPM to go. If you're racing, you'll never go below 5000 RPM anyways. Driving around the street is not a problem at all either.

I doubt that any of you guys badmouthing it have ever tried it. Essentially, you're saying that you hate internal combustion engines if the idea of revving to 10k+ rpms doesn't entice you just a little bit.
So what if it's not good for traffic or making torque at 3000 RPMS - it's not built for that, it's built to make you giggle like a little boy.
