torque = Nascars
hp + revs = F1 Cars

F1 cars are faster, HP > TQ, end of story

IMO the reason that the Si, and many other Hondas, don't have torque is that tq usually requires more displacement, which usually means lower fuel economy, and a lower redline.

S/C are another option, but Honda doesn't like that either

btw, In japan there is a tax increase for motors over 2.0l, which may be a reason why Honda likes 2.0l I4s so much
