Default Should this Del Sol be fast? 1.8 acura LS motor.

Just curious. Should this car be fast with a 1.8 litre acura LS motor? Also, how much should it be worth and is that motor vtec?

it will haul ass only if you do weight reduction and drive by yourself.... if you have another passenger in the car, then it gets slower.........

why do a lot of people say swap the GSR head? i mean sure itll give you a higher compression but why not just go for the b16 head which flows a lot better than the GSR head. h:

both of these heads flow about the same, and infact with a 50 dollar port match job, the gs-r will flow better. There is not alot better between these two stock heads. the type r form of the b16 will flow a good bit better due to a oem port and polish. for the price difference, b16's are the way to go.
