Ummm!!! well that is why we modify our cars so that we can make them have more horsepower, hondas are made for economy cars, not race cars!!! so if u want hp do it your damn self.. :af:

Wow, ya like to step on toes...

The new Accord V6 manual is a very quick car, ever raced one? Almost all of the Acura lineup is really quick, possibly with the exclusion of the SUV's and the base RSX... yes, Acura's are still considered Honda's in my book...

mclaren actually did have alot to do in the engine development and turbo.


Thanks.

And just to clarify, I did not say that a mclaren had a honda engine

For abit mclaren and honda were doing engines together for F1 races.
