Yes, Honda does dyno every car that comes off the line. They redline every forward gear and reverse. Take a tour of the East Liberty plant (where Civcs are made..... they didn't offer tours of Marysville when my friend went but I think they do now). They'll tell you all about it. He said every motorcycle, outboard, lawnmower, and automobile engine is run to full throttle in every gear before shipment. They do it to verify the car makes it's advertised power (Honda slightly underrates it's engines, anyway) and for quality control purposes.
Well I was not saying anyone is wrong its just the cars dont come with enough miles really for that to be right, I mean I could be wrong but when dealer has cars with .4 on it how the fuc* was it dynoed? lol you have to remember that includes it getting driven off and on trucks/trains however it gets to the dealer and then the dealer moving the cars around... I mean some cars have miles on them, my car had 4.8 when I got it but I saw some with less then 0.5 and thats just strange, lol...
My car had 4.8 miles on it though and it was never test drove or nothing, I watched them remove ALL the plastic on it and all...
Oh well... not like I care, I have no problems, heh
