I agree Honda may look into a DOHC V6, but that's way too much power for front wheel drive. Without RWD or AWD, over 300 horse will torque steer like crazy, no matter if there's stability assist, equal length drive shafts, and a positive diff or ATTS or any other device.
I drove a 1998 Eldorado ETC with the 300 horse Northstar V8, and when I laid the pedal down from a stop, that thing TS'd so hard I couldn't hold the wheel.
