Is the 2.0 K20C2 the most tortured sounding Honda engine ever?

Prior to the tune(s) I always thought it sounded pretty good, but then again my references were limited to other econoboxes like the Camry and Equinox. The feel of the engine definitely wasn't as great as I wanted it to be though, I remember on my test drive taking it onto the interstate to see how it accelerated and I was hoping it would give some more umph.

Thank God for the aftermarket.
 
Nice numbers man. Really want to get a KTuner. It's a whole different engine after the tune isn't it?
With the CVT it's still got that slow take off from a stop, but the second you start climbing past 3000 rpm it feels a lot better.
