that thing is a slow POS it barely got to 100 and the tool said he spun 4th.LOL and then from a dig he can barely break a lil of second loose power shifting it. ive raced tools like that when my car was stock and would burn them bad from a roll.

The Supras an auto and probably had who knows what going on with it (boost leaks, bad tune, bad driver) and the Formula was probably stock. Big deal. For the money he spent on the motor and car, he could have put together a V8 build with better results or at least the same. He just picked a different poison. The K20 motor is like the LSX of the Honda guys.

It's not a K20, but I have a really good friend that built a B16 in his Del Sol, and it was nearly fully built. Full forged bottom end, P/P head, and some really nice cams. And it put down 197whp. I got to ride in it, and I will say that it definetly wasnt bad for what it was, pulled decently. But, it would still probably lose to a LS1.
I actually should have raced him in the DD Z28, since it is definetly a stock LS1.
Anyways moral of the story is, I am definetly in to LS engines, but I have alot of respect for his build. He took a motor that probably would have dynoed 135-140whp stock and raised that by a good 65whp. And I think it even sounds pretty good too!

Hondas are cool I don't see anything wrong with them I know of a handful of hondas in the 400+ Hp range and they are decently quick, to each there own. That type of power doesn't seem like alot but to a car that only weighs less then 2k pounds, that's really good.

You have to respect it for what it is. In the Import world Its all about power to Weight ratio.
200whp+2000lb car= Pretty quick car
But no doubt the dude who added all the captions (or if it was the driver) is a douche bag.

The only thing that is kind of crappy is once you get into the low 11 second range on a Honda for the most part they are really not streetable, as in they need to run a 24" maybe a 26" tire and just not as efficient whereas I can add a 125 shot to my Z28 and it would be a perfectly streetable high 10's low 11's car.

Ive raced a K20 in a 99 civic hatch from about 60 it was close but i manage to put half a car on him. My car is lid and cut out only A4 and it stayed in third. some honda guys are d-bags like the vid guy but not all are like that. Most of my friends drive hondas

$10k on that?? Dude spent wayyyy too much, last I heard from my honda buddies you can get motor trans ecu for less than $4.5k and the other mods and not that expensive either.... must be a shop built car.
