Know what 490 FT LBS of torque feels like??
 
Muscle car shootout on Speed was awsome!! Screw any import when it comes to raw power. Feels like the fattest person you know sitting on your lap pushing you in your seat, all on demand at only 3000 rpm!! Could you imagine that TQ in a Civic??

If any of us had 480 ft/lbs in our Civic, it would turn into a pretzel.
