Hmmm. the RL. That has always been the LSS'* major competitor. The LSS would beat it in every catigory; even braking which supprised me.

yep, I dont think the Honda will come with a 7 speed SMG trans.

THe BMW has more cylinders and has a redline around 8k, you probably need the honda at like half throttle to launch it right.

Considering the high compression on either motor, you'll need to do a LOT of work to run any amount of boost safely... these beasts are NA, and shine best as NA
