I know this, I hang out with a few Honda haters. Now I like Hondas, especially clean ones, but people hate on Honda's engine because...While it revs high and makes good HP, it's a little short on the torque. Also, people naturally hate on Hondas because they think every Honda tuner is a ricer, and while many are, some people have made very clean ones. So... your answer is... missing torque and the whole "Honda tuner = ricer" thing. Merry Christmas.
