Yes it "can" be a reliable daily driven motor but that all depends on who builds it and what you put into it. Then again you can still go with a B16 and buy a stroker kit so it'll be a 1.8, really just depends on your goals and plans. Lets say all you're trying to do is 170-180whp, this can easily be achieved through just stock cams such as ITRs/CTRs, bolt ons, and a vafc for a low budget with a ls/vtec where as doing the same to a B16 might not get you that results. Now as far as "pulling on anyone that tries to run me" that will take some time/money to do, don't get me wrong, all motor rocks but there will always be someone out there with a bigger build. LS/vtec is a great motor for a fraction of a GSR motor price, I got mines built for $1200 with OEM internals. I hope this info helps, if not we can get into more discussion about it.
1 last thing, wrong forum man
