Didn't think so. Lets compare apples to apples, and not to oranges.
A 300fwhp N/A Sentra will run exactly like a 400fwhp~450fwhp FI Sentra. You'll have ZERO traction in 1-3, and will hook in 4th on street tires. On slicks, you'll rip '60ft times so hard that you'll be worried about axles, and the torque will be there WAY before a FI Sentra.
This is NOTHING like a torqueless B20 VTEC Honda. Yes, even they have shitty torque figures. Showed the dyno graph to my buddy that's been tuning Honda's before either of us could afford a shitty CRX, and he was amazed.
No but ive seen what a close to 300whp na honda can run and how it runs on the street. Yes they spin but not near as bad as a 500whp turbo car on the street. There is a difference between spinning and just pounding the rev limiter spinning. lol. The n/a is not gonna have the torque a turbo car will have in the mid range. Sorry. I can launch on my two step building 5-6psi of boost and im already well above the peak torque the n/a car is making at any given time. Although on street tires on the street i would never launch on the two step. You saw the vid of how it went when i just did a little teaser launch off the two step. lol
Here was another big difference between my car and the b20 vtec on the 175 shot that i raced. He was on 225 bfg drag radials and lowered the tire pressure to 20psi while i waited at the line, did a huge burnout, i did none, and i was on my every day 205/50/15 falken zeix 912's at full pressure. And I still won. I was just relating to traction differences between an n/a and boosted car.
Like I said, I have no doubt these two 2.4's that have put up numbers soo far would probably beat me in a dig race on the street at my pump gas boost level. Again the n/a's are animals on the street. Thats why you see soo many vids of the n/a hondas taking on the big boosted hondas on the street. Hell even slicks vs slicks, because they stand a chance. Even slicks spin like crazy on the street with big hp turbo.
