As a mediocre driver I love the challenge of getting the best out of the VHPD. It's not nearly as fast as a Honda but I love the massive pops on the over-run when you time your gearchanges correctly and I love the total lack of flywheel effect when you blip the throttle and the completely analogue throttle response. It makes me feel like I'm alive.

Corrected!!!

I would suggest by observation that a well driven VHPD is every bit as fast as the much heavier Honda mate! And I agree with the sound track too!!!

horlicks!

if you think it's as fast, how about go out there and prove it?

the simple facts are that at best, the VHPD might just make 180Hp vs. 225+ for a bog std K20, and even accounting for the ~+15Kg's in overall car weight for the K20, an additional 25% power kind of makes it academic....
