handling may better, but whose going to keep the suspension stock either car. the high redline, no torque, and waiting till VTEC kicks in gets tired after awhile. the torque of the V6 is just so much better. personally, i'm getting a WRX for my next car though. up here in NH AWD just makes so much sense plus the turbo makes it have a powerband like a V6.

..and i have an H22 under the hood so i know what it likes to rev high.
