i have some videos of the vigor. I have a couple of vigors drifting and a couple of the commercials that were around during the time it was being sold. I think the vigors numbers are actually higher than acura listed them. The rumor is Acura lowered the horse power and torque numbers so that the vigor wouldn't out sell the legend. Its supposedly closer to 200hp 190 torque. I believe its 200/ 190. Vigors also have a dual stage intake. One day i noticed a significant "boost" in power at mid-high rpms and was wondering what it was. Asked the guys on yahoo acuravigorandlegend club and they told me about it. Basically there are 2 pathways into the intake manifold, at low rpms it only uses 1 of the pathways, but at 5200 RPMs the ECU opens up the 2nd pathway allowing for high end power. I lined up w/ an integra GS and ROMPED him i didn't even have to shift to 3rd gear before he gave up. Mugen actually made some headers for it, but those are EXTREMELY hard to come by.... i doubt there are even any in the united states. Ohh yeah.... mines a 5spd too
