Silly question for anyone to answer. Do they measure the power at the engine or at the wheels?
They use the specs of the unmodified car. That is why one of the requirements for a P plater legal car is one without any modifications to increase power.
Agree with some of the posters here when they mentioned that you should start with something turtlish. My EK1 may not be as fast as those GTS-ts or commonwhores but it does looks arite, fun + FUEL EFFICIENT !!!!!!!!
Yet, i would be naive not to say that i wanted a speed demon myself (typical urges of a car-enthusiast teenage p-plater). But i figured, it's better to work my way up there (that's why im gonna save up as much as i can) and upgrade later down the track (dc2r/dc5r/Mx-5 NB/S15,etc). Meanwhile i can spend a bit on my civic and still stay alive and spend less in fixing and petrol for the old reliable fun hondas.
And of course when i get even older and experienced (aka matured) i'll then try to get one of my dream car (achievable in price-wise that is) ------> EVO/S2k/STI,etc

LOL, never say they're the most powerful (if you can see, my main realistic goal one day would be EVO/STI/S2K) and those cars which potentially be my next upgardes (i prefer fun ness than POWER really) and i see ITRs/S15s/Mx-5s + whatever else i can't think of atm would be more powerful than EK1 and still fun.
And trust me, drive ur DC5 and drive my EK and you'll feel how "POWERFUL" you're DC5 is. Beside you probably already aiming at something better than your DC5 when you get your Ls yeh ? If so, gud on ya ! (have fun with ur next upgrade!) meanwhile I'll have fun with my R
BNK - wasnt trying to bag ya. i see your point. well i wasnt realy aiming "higher" than a dc5 but if i petrol wasnt so exepnsive and i could legally drive it i definently wouldnt of bought a 4cylender. i love my car none the less though. goodluck with ur upgrade
