I don’t have a good answer for this. Yes, if the circumference is the same then the leverage on the driveline is the same, torque requirements don’t change etc.

It looks like Honda really worked hard at building a Camry.

I haven’t watched The Simpsons since about 1995, and I wasn’t an always-there fan then.

I bet your preference has limits:

Not an objective statement.

I disagree.

I agree.  If you could never see the outside of the car, there would be a LOT less for the marketers to sell.

That’s what optimization is about - the first and most important consideration is: what are you trying to optimize?

I think the TT is one of those uncommon sport coupes that doesn’t appeal or cannot be made to appeal to the boy racer crowd. I don’t know about anywhere else but I absolutely never ever seen them modded where I live.

That’s a fair amount of motivation for not a lot of money. Good power, tossable little chassis, and the fact that the kids are grown and moved out means the microscopic rear legroom isn’t a deal killer.
