that means the h22a is just as torque heavy as this 6 cylinder.
moderator or not stock for stock they are slower in the 1/4 than both those cars with similar drivers. the torque isnt even that great to back up the 2 more cylinders, they are heavier and less powerful, and the 1/4 times are equally as bad.

Well, if you know anything about cars, then you woulfd nknopw that PEAK numbers don't tell the whole story. The curve and distribution of torque and horsepower over the rev range really determine what the car can do, as well as gear ratios.
Sure, the Probe and H22a may have similar peak torque numbers, but the PGT's torque curve is pretty flat, and spread out through the range. The Prelude doesn't hold that peak for long, maybe for 500-750 revs.
By the way, the V6 PGT's are only 16-sec runners in automatic form. 5-speeds are around 15.2-15.6 Now I never said that was blazingly fast or anything, but you mmight want to get the facts straight. They're right on par with the Si's and GS-R's.
