Is that in typical honda style they sell horsepower by reving the engine to kingdom come. It still only generates 238 lb ft of torque, and that is at sea level. Take it up the hills and it will get weak. The 5 speed aero offers 250 hp, and 272 lb ft of torque (in overboost)258 lb ft constant from 1900-4500 rpm. It's amazing to me how "horsepower" sells cars, when it's torque that you feel in the seat of your pants. I'll take the low and mid range torque over a high rev horsepower any time. Good luck on your decision, the Acura has always been a great car, but it won't feel like the saab.
