There are tons of videos of Grande and Civic with their engines dying of power at 200. Not sure where you get this information from that Grande does 215. Fact is that its engine loses power after 180-190. Videos speak for themselves. If you have a video of any stock 1.8 car touching 215 on a straight road then please bring it up.
Grande gives "pedal response" till 190? Others dont? Please bring good quality facts that make sense on this otherwise unneccesary debate.
And please watch this, does it look like it can touch 215 ever?
