You could buy a house, it would be just in the middle of the mountains surrounded by people pumped of thorazine smiling at you through a gap tooth'd grin.

Well at least they'd be smiling!

My pisspot 1.9TDi develops 236ft.lbs torque @ 1900rpm. Is that good?

Yes, it makes your car capable of rapid acceleration in the range of 5-10 mph. Congrats.

"My pisspot 1.9TDi develops 236ft.lbs torque @ 1900rpm. Is that good?"

I'd call that pretty good, especially in light of it being a small 4-banger. Probably makes it spin the tires pretty nicely when you want it to and I bet it takes off nicely from stops. Is it boosted or normally aspirated? Petrol or Diesel?

Compare that to the 166 lbs that Acura claims for the TSX (at a shockingly high 4500 RPMs mind you). That's definately an engine that relies on its high-end kick for performance.

166 lbs/ft and "performance" dont go together.

It's TDi, ie turbo diesel injection. Of course all diesels are injected! Yes, it would be easy to spin the wheels. That's why I'd like a 4WD again. Top speed is 134mph, so they tell me, and I get 47mpg in normal use.
