Your assumption makes no sense. Logically, under hard line acceleration the more power you put to the rear the better; thus things like wheelie bars on FWD drag cars to overcome the traction issues, generally rear wheel drive drag cars ... etc ... etc.
Again, the disparity between the straight line and cornering power distributions is odd.

Are you sure those are turbos? I thought Honda only made two production turbos, and those were 100hp cars back from before I was born.
IF (big if) Honda makes a production turbo, it will NOT be for performance. From the past, the turbos were mainly to bring hp to PAR from small engines.

Oops, yeah I cut and pasted it real quick from another post I made w/o paying attention...
I fixed the links above so they work properly now. Here they are again tho...
Here's the specs to show that a turbo model is available for all these cars:
Hobio
That's
Life
And I agree with you, none of these models are particularly exciting, but I'm simply trying to show that Honda does make actual production cars that have turbos. I'm not going to say that this directly translates into the Turbo TSX rumor being credible, but I don't think its impossible to think that they might try something like that for the MY07 refresh.
Oh don't forget that in Europe there's the Honda Accord Diesel Turbo. Its a different beast than a turbo engine that runs on regular unleaded, but it is another production turbo from Honda.
