I wanna see the other side of the engine bay. Bigger airbag? These guys are shoehorning 3.5 liter V6s in those cars now. Have to cut away half the hood. |

Thanks, but still can't see what I want to. Car is pretty bad ass, I must say. That's a huge hairdryer for a 2 or 2.4 liter. |

Well, we're probly not getting the Euro spec cause we never do, but it'll be ~$35k I'd guess. Gonna be tough battles between it, the Focus and the whatever Subby whips up. Not sure if the Mazda 3 series has anything like these. You can get into some seriously cool cars for that much money. S2000. Boxster. Z4. New Mustang maybe? Elise? |

I missed that was the conversion rate on the Euro spec car. They sold plenty of Preludes in the low 30's years ago, I'm sure they'll sell quite a few.

Eh. Honda engines are... Pretty good, for what they are. The heads are actually decent on them, so a little 1.8 or 2.0 can faceroll a massive turbo. They have to rev to like 12k to get it going, but they can do it. That said, screw FWD. I had a friend with a Cobalt SS supercharged, and he was putting around 300 HP to the front wheels. My Suby was maaaaybe making 250 HP at the crank. Every single time we raced, I kicked his ass because he had no traction. As for Euro spec, it might be a good thing we aren't getting it. Yeah, we miss out on the EVO FQ's, AWD focus, and a few other things, but we also don't get the horrible stuff they get, as well. The Focus with the active front diff, for example. |

There was a brand new focus at the track last weekend still running the paper license plates and all. The blow off valve was working overtime. The driver was scared out of his balls of the car and left it in first gear the whole time. He'd get to maybe 20 mph and when he'd let off for the corners it'd go whoooooosh! |

Did he have blue painters tape all over the car too? For the cone marks. Or is that just for Corvette weenies?
