    Yeah, no. It's called the NSX (which kicked Ferrari in the nuts) and the S2000 (which owned BMW's Z3/Z4, Porsche's Boxster, Mazda's Miata, etc). Don't act like Honda hasn't accomplished amazing things in motoring history.

        S2GHEY! Lawl at the amazing torque capacity they have.

        Stick to FWD Honda, you know you hate making cars anyways, go back to bikes.

                I started on a smoke system for my MR2.
                Bought a cheap motorcycle fuel pump on eBay, salvaged a lawnmower gas tank from my junk pile,
                made an injection nozzle to screw into the extra O2 sensor port just after the other port where the O2 sensor is.

                My plan was to inject diesel into the exhaust system when people tailgate.

                Originally it was for my Ural, to use like "Show Smoke" on an aerobatics plane, but I'm probably going to have to sell that.

                If I do Fritz as a rally car, I may put it on there instead.
                Somehow on a lowered autocrosser it just wouldn't fit the car's character.

                Really it would better suit a VW "Thing" though. Much closer to the Ural in character.

                  I was referring to an independent magazine company testing a new BMW and comparing it to the joy of driving an E30. I never said anything about comparing it to a Honda.

                  For instance, when does an import magazine state, "Driving the new Civic is such a treat, almost as good as driving an EK hatch"...? I have yet to see that statement.

                    Qft. 160 ft/lbs of torque isn't anything to be impressed with, especially when it's supposed to be Honda's sport roadster.

                    the only true Honda I was ever impressed with was my CBR600RR. Other than that, nothing ever caught my eye. I have driven an S2000, but it's nothing outrageously awesome.

                      New Honda is fail. Old Honda is awesome.

                      Yeah, yeah. You drove an S2000 around the block. Drive it at the limits. Absolutely phenomenal car whether stock, time attack'd, or boosted.

                      And torque doesn't matter on the track where 99% of your time is spent in the S2000's powerband. The engine is insanely well-designed and can handle a shit ton of extra power if necessary. I just watched a guy hit 800+ whp on a stock block F22c AP2 S2000. While I prefer my E30 over an S2000 and would rather DD an E36 M3, I loved my S2000 while I had it and I'll buy another one again someday as a track only 3rd car. :-D Definitely one of the best cars ever made and 'lol no torque' is a failure argument to make from someone who has probably spent 10 minutes in one.

                              Nah, it's better to quote the joke rag of the automotive magazine world MotorTrend. That's credibility right there. :p
