beemrmem3 is an unknown quantity at this point
I call BS again. A totally stock Type R is not going to run faster then a 14.4. And if you think it is. Your an idiot. And adding exhaust isnt going to yeild more then 5hp on a type R, without a header.(i still have stock headers) Maybe you would like to think its going to. Plus your comparing a new top of the line integra model to a GT not a new Cobra. Lets see the type R was made tell 2001. Wel a 2001 cobra is proven to be a 13.4@103mph car. I dont even think a Type R with a turbo could do 103mph in the 1/4. And look at your GSR. That model is more comparable to the GT model cause its in between a LS and Type R. Wow you run high 15s with alot more mods then me. Spend a few grand on a turbo and you might be down with me.Also i did 14.4 with 3.08 gearing in the rear end, you guys have to use differential gears in the 4s so it will even go a 100. And Id like to see you drop a type R engine in a mustang and see how fast it goes. Haha that would be funny going from a little car with almost no power options or A/C that weighs 2600 pounds. To a car That has every available option, is comfortable and weighs 3400 pounds. It wouldnt even move with that engine in it. Putting down 160hp and 120ftlbs at the wheels. Well my car puts down 227hp and 280ftlbs of TQ to the wheels. Thats not anything special but it gets the job done. The reason honda puts such high compression small displacement engines in there cars is because of emissions over seas. The would use bigger engines if they were able to, but its cheaper for them this way. Why do you think accords and what not have 4cylinders over there. And theres supras with 2.0 turbo engines. Plus you guys need to use insane compression like 11 to 1, to even come close to domestics(which mostely use in the 9 to 1 range) and have fun adding a good amount of boost to such high compression. You think you have such high technology. But all it is is lightweight cars, with small displacement with high gearing and high compression ratio. If my car had 11 to 1 compression and cams to match that. It would be putting out just as much hp per litre. And that is your guys's only arguement also. hppl. I guess it makes you feel better when you loose. Ill race any stock honda or acura with just exhaust anywhere. Even an s2000 (excluding an NSX with an 80,000 tag on it)

Also my car has just as much TQ per litre as you guys do. The reason you have more hp per litre is cause of the high revs. And my car can be changed cheaply to rev almost as well as you guys. New set of head and a cam(1200 bucks). Its not technology that helps you. We all have internal combustion, nothing has changed in awhile. So what if i have pushrods. Top Fuel dragsters use pushrods and they push 1000hp per litre. 7000hp out of an 8.2litre engine.
