    It seems like there are a surprising number of Allantes in the Midwest. They’re not common, but I see many, many more Allantes than other cars of the era.

    Idk if it's just me, but those seem to be oddly common and popular in Florida.

    Not being mean, but what is so "interesting" about a Honda CR-V?

    OT: I got nothing.

    It's the new model (new as in 'revealed a few months ago'), so I found that worth mentioning.

    seven and a half liters and like 230 hp
    quality gm products am i right
    and before you go "eugh emissions restrictions" like a year later the ford lightning made 250 hp froma 5.7 liter
    less engine
    more power
    do the math.

    Ok.
    Rounded to decimal places:
    30.67 HP/liter = OUCH that is a seriously bad specific output
    43.86 HP/liter = This sounds decent, especially considering the year.

    Just for lulz, I'll also throw my own car's engine in there. Its from 2014, so a significantly higher specific output is not surprising at all.

    78.89 HP/liter (R18Z1, assuming 142 HP figure from official specs is correct)
