Agree... I don't think honda will push 400 plus HP out of a 3.0T, right out of the gate. They are about reliability and driveability. If they did what else could they gain out of this motor over the product lifecycle, let alone for a Type R or a higher performance version if the market exists for the new TSX.
I think the biggest question is the powerband/ drivetrain if this is 350-365hp, can you launch it at 4000rpm, turn of stability.
