I loved the engine when i had my CTR you really have to drive them which in turn makes it fun, i love reading the same shit " they have no torque" people make out this is an issue for them you really should go and drive one before assuming this
Theres "hype" about them for one reason and thats because as an all round package there an awesome bit of kit
People on one of the vauxhall forums I use were saying years ago that "honda engines make no torque" while they were comparing the 160bhp 1.6 honda engine to the 156bhp 2.0 vauxhall engine.
Just cause the power outputs were similar, they felt it was a fair comparison and were completely missing the point that of couse a 2.0 engine is more torquey than a 1.6 engine
