i think euro will be quicker... however by not much...
I-vtec VS VVT-I... that would be one of a nice race

um.. dunno what number will be my MDX running

maybe i just need to get it done once but hopefully no honda technicians will see me running so i can still maintain my warrenty for my thrid yr

wheels claims 16.3 1/4 miles but i think i can do better than that!

190kw there..should be quite nippy for a large suv.

they are both rev whores.(mate of mine had a zr celica with the same engine) but where as the 2.4 ivtec still has room for more the 1.8 vvti is pulling as much power as it possibly can..its working harder. the euro can rely on its torque.

heaps of people i know under-estimate the euro so badly.

From the tests the sportivo and euro will be close but the euro will be the clear winner at the end of the day.

Its frustrating arguing with people about it...

"the sportivo has the same KW's and its lighter that = win" - get that so much

look at the power curves, torque spread, and gear ratios of the two cars and its a different story

i guess the lack of "sport" in the euro name and its somewhat understated styling means its slow? (

we all know the truth)

Just wait a week or two and I'll be more than qualified to answer your question although I won't be able to quote exact times.
Hopefully, my brother's Sportivo will be delivered this week.
A slight problem because the one they located has been damaged in transit or something.

I don't know if anyone has driven the 05 model, but I have driven one only last week. First impression was that it felt faster than my Euro, but I'll need more time behind the wheel to confirm it.

Anyway, they are great value for money.
