And then you must have forgotten about nissan and a little motor called the sr20VE. There are plenty of motors n/a or FI that will beat down the KA series not to mention the other cars that compete with the RSX-S such as the spec V which commonly put down close to 200 whp and wtq with just i/h/e. I've yet to see a RSX-S make high 100 wtq on just boltons.
Ok let me rephrase cause you're absolutely right JKAN. I was typing irrationally and not thinking at the time. The k-series engine is and will dominate Honda's sport compacts. (hence, not S2K )

And yes the spec v may put down these numbers, but it is common knowledge the Sentra has many more problems and issues to work, out albeit the power is sufficient, before it starts to be considered a formidable opponent in the scene, and to be of par to lets say....an RSX-S.
