Turbo Hondas are rather fast as they have weight on their side...

soarer TT's,while a nice car, aren't outragously quick standard.
I dare say a 2L gtst with a few smart mods would probly embarrass one. most turbocharged hondas would make one look silly too . in fact, most 1.6L n/a's would probly beat one to 50km.

they are nice cars, with loads of gadgets. if you're going to buy a manual soarer, then use it for the designed purpose, which is a comfortable long distance cruiser with a wee bit of go.
