Are hondas being slow just a meme?

I always thought hondas were really slow because of all the facebook memes and because of /o/ but..

Today I was at a car meet, there were a bunch of honda guys standing around a non turbo hondas engines bay.

He was saying that it's failry quick.. I said to him "can't be too quick it's just a honda.

He was like "I will take you for a ride and you can see for yourself"

I said "I drive a v8 mustang I doubt I will be impressed by a non turbo honda"

Anyway he took me around the block and it pinned me super hard in to the seat.. It actually fwlt faster than my v8.

I got out and he told me it's just a basic k swap with some mild mods.

This has got me wondering, is the slow honda thung just an internet meme or are hondas like this rare?

If it felt quicker it's due to power to weight. your fat Mustang will feel and probably be slower than a built up K series (even N/A) because the car it's in is half the weight of your Mustang

Giving the benefit of the doubt that this isn't bait, the meme for why their slow originated from the fact that most Hondas are slow from the factory and a culture of fuccbois gravitated towards them because of how cheap and plentiful they are, mainly performed minimal performance mods that didn't gain much power but would stick a shitty bodykit on then and act like they're as fast as a Porsche is

The one you rode in is rare in the fact that someone planned out a build and completed it properly

this
your mustang meight have a v8 but it also weighs almost 2 tons
power to weight is the only metric that truly determines a cars speed. turbo hondas are very quick and a lot of fun, and all motors high-compression builds can have well over 250hp

Looks like you got the answer from the others here OP. My question is, how bad is the torque steer on a Honda with that much power?
>>
>>16383349
I've driven a Civic Type-R and that didn't have any torque steer, it's present in older turbo charged cars like Saabs.

Guess they worked it out. I had a pontiac g6 that would almost put you into the side of the car you were trying to pass. Even at 60+ mph

Hondas are perfectly capable of going fast, when the build is planned out properly.

the problem is very few plan out the build properly.
