What's the HP and Torque of the XFi motor? My CRX has 60hp (well... 25 years ago) and ~80ft lb and it has no issue climbing hills now that it runs right. And this car has 250k miles with iffy piston rings.

"All I know about music is that not many people ever really hear it. [...] But the man who creates the music is hearing something else, is dealing with the roar rising from the void and imposing order on it as it hits the air. What is evoked in him, then, is of another order, more terrible because it has no words, and triumphant, too, for the same reason. And his triumph, when he triumphs, is ours." -Sonny's Blues
