Eh, assuming a perfect world where a car made the same torque from its peak up to redline, a 4 cylinder (going off of 2010 Civic VTEC numbers) would need to make roughly 8-9% more horsepower than a 2009 Mustang GT's V8 in order to have similar power output, with those cars' transmissions and final drive ratios. In reality, V8's have a much wider torque curve than the peaky things in I4's. The I4 would have 37% of its powerband left to hit redline from peak torque while the Mustang would hit at 28%. The Mustang weighs 18% more than the Civic. The I4 would need to shift much sooner, giving the V8 huge gearing advantages from 36-41mph, 61-69mph, and 91-105mph. The 2010 Civic has on average 13% more gearing advantage when comparing the first 4 gears to make up for its lack of power. This is just playing with numbers that mean nothing without dozens of other variables.

In reality, I4's don't have the displacement to make torque from anywhere but high up in the rpm's if they want horsepower (except forced induction that is essentially the same thing). Typically the power curve is down 30% on high horsepower I4's, compared to a V8. After all is said and done, looking at weight, powerbands, and gearing, I4's may need up to 40% more horsepower than a V8 just to keep up, as long as both sides have traction. I'd much rather have a 300hp 4.6L than a 400hp 1.8L, even if it weighed more. On the street I'm not going to be taking short and sharp corners at 80mph so what's the point of having the lighter vehicle (other than fuel economy which is lost anyways when dealing with high horse small engines). As long as I can get around nuisances on the road quickly, safely, and cheaply, I am happy. 4+ liter engines that are easy/cheap to maintenance and upgrade ftw!

The video's the same thing we always hear - nothing special. The guy isn't really a good comedian is that skit shows his abilities...

There is a difference between tuners and ricers although i have been called a ricer for my exhaust on the 99. I dont really care to each his own, i personally love the exhaust note that the 2.5 puts out with my current setup.

The py camera does not do any justice to the sound as its tinny and pops alot.

One time at a parking lot, We kept hearing this really low exhaust rumble~But we couldn't figure out where it was coming from.
Until a slow moving line of cars passed in front of us, and a completely un-modded '95 Civic with a grandma driving slowly moved past us.

Had a single ler exhaust, looked stock but it was tweaked. (Like it had hit something)
And i swear it rumbled like a muscle car! We were all cracking up.
