Haha, well, I'm not sure how much is known about Hondas in general since they're generally disliked by the car community. For those who don't know, the powerplant in the 06-11 Civic SIs is a k20z3. The k series motors are, without a doubt in my mind, some of the best (if not the best) 4 cylinder motors produced. If the Z's V6 is as good for a V6 as the k20 is for a 4 cyl, I will be a very happy guy. Anyways, they flow spectacularly, and are near-bulletproof. So, I slapped on a well-built turbo kit with a precision 5857 turbo. 11 psi later and I'm making about 445 whp. The downside is that only about 220 whp of that is actually useful unless I'm on the highway 
And that's good to know about the Z being ok with winter tires. I really do like the Evo, but I feel like I would enjoy having a true sports car more, even if it means half of the year I'm sliding around on winter tires. Decisions, decisions..
