As an x-import guy that had a 120+mph 200sx I can appreciate both sides. I wouldn't go back to the import fwd's now because I love my rwd v8 so much more. I do know that 145mph traps in a street car is about enough to destroy 99.9% of anything you'll see at any local hangout.
+1 for a sweet *** ride.

I dont undestand why you guys are surprised at the posts. This is a domestic V8 board and most of the people here wouldnt **** on a Honda that was on fire, including me. Funny story one time we were at the track and this ghettofied looking hoopty pulls up with big rims and bling all over it. Were all laughing about it and then runs an 11. We all looked at each other for a minute and said wow, he poured a bunch of mioney into a peice of ****. Now the moral of that story is was that wasnt our thing so we all thought it was a peice of ****. To him it may have been the coolest thing around. Same here 90% of the people here could give 2 ***** if a Honda runs 14s or 8s, its still a Honda and not their thing. Now its fast but who cares, Ive seen lots of cars in the 10s I wouldbt be seen dead in. Theres alot more to a car and its personality than how fast it goes down the track.

I have seen the car up close at a few dyno days and its pretty impressive, I drive a t.a. and love domestic rear wheel drive cars, but fast is fast, and the fact that the car makes more power out of half the cylinders is pretty damn cool.I think as far as hondas go its a pretty good lookin car too.
Just my opinion though, I respect speed no matter what it is.
Oh and as far as some people saying the wouldnt **** on a honda if it was on fire- I know a few ls1 and lt1 guys that say the same about each other

I give much respect to anything that can spank my 383 daily driver...... so lets not sound like those ricers always making excuses.... that car is fast, and for the mph's that car is up there with some of the top 20 f-bodies on our data base....
so if that car was in race trim, it'd be a mid to low 9 sec ricer................

That car is insane! It has ALOT left in it still if it would hook. It doesn't even see full boost until the top of 3rd gear. He comes out on around 15 psi and it still spins really hard, especially at our local track, Atlanta Dragway. I know he is changing some things up right now, I predict 850+ whp no nitrous, some low 9 et's, and high 150's in the near future!

145 is fast but his et is telling me that his car doesn't settle down until mid track/bottom of third gear.
i got rid of my fwd cause its such a pain in the *** to hook up and majority of races are done from a stop not from a roll.
< used to own an import.
