The last Prelude's were hott lookin in my opinion. And you consider the H22 a "little" engine?

 

I have to go with vassil on this one. I just got my Black, 99 SH not too long ago, and I still have to sit and stare at it in my garage sometimes. The lines on that body style are just.....amazing. lol.

 

It's a friggin' 2.2l, idiot. Even el-cheapo V6 Mustangs come with a 3.8l, nevermind the Chevy 5.7l still in regular production.

2.2l is only "big" when it comes to Honda 4-bangers. Honda's "big" engine is a 3.5l V6. A real "Big" engine is a Ford 427, a Mopar 440, a Caddy 500, etc.

So to you.

 

Take it easy. Don't forget, this is a Honda forum. You need to keep things in perspective. Don't go hatin' around here.

And yes, the H22A is a big engine. It's the equivalent in 4 cylinder motors to a Hemi 429 in the 8 cylinder world. Catch my drift?

You can rip Hondas all you want in your Camaro and Chevelle forums, but keep that garbage out of here...... trust me, there's plenty we can rip GM and Ford about.

BTW, I've embarrased a few Mustangs, including the GT, so block size really don't mean a whole lot.

 

You took the words straight from my mouth. Dude you need to calm down, we're talkin about 4 cylinders here. Anyways a stock lude can take a v6 mustang no problem, and yes I've done my share of embarrassing mustang GT's as well, but we're not talkin about that are we now. :slap:

 

And ignore the rest of the car world? Sure, whatever works for you. I'd more readily associate the F22C with the 426 Hemi. Besides, 2.2 is an 'average' size for a 4 cyl. Horsepower and displacement are two different things.So, I'm ripping on Hondas because you guys refuse to realize how small a 2.2l is? Right... I'd say the same thing to anyone else driving any other brand claiming a 2.2l is "big."It doesn't take much to shame a V6 Mustang. My little 1.3 Rotary does that with ease.

So, we agree. The H22A is a small engine. Thank you.

 

I also just have to add about the MR2 The Mr2 died in the US for good. What is what they have now? An Mr-s edition, it carries no 2 liter turbo, theyre only offered in a 1.8 NA and they are WEAK. As for motor sizes, that means nothing, I have some muscle in my garage so I know what fast is. But in my Lude I have raped a fare share of V-8s, mostly irocs and fox body stangs, and although I havent annihilated I have beat so new gt stangs as well. Oh yea, Ive also smoked smokey and the bandit. (a kid I know with a 400 big block late 70s trans am, but they are smogged like crazy) All in all a really attractive car that handles like a dream and beats some v-8 in factory state out of a four banger with honda build solid reliability, I jsut dont understand why the Lude didnt succeed. Another side note though, as far as the "gt" cars dying, didnt the US pass a ban on twin turbo vehicles? I may be wrong though

 

Oh and by the way Kai, no one said that the 2.2 motor WAS a huge motor, they were just saying you dont have to call someone a "frggin idiot" just cause there are other companies with bigger motors.

 

Nope, no ban. TT vehicles just became very expensive with a very small market. No one wanted that kind of vehicle anymore thanks to the SUV craze, so the respective companies just stopped selling them here.

 

There hondas backwards logic again. Lets kill the sports car to spend more money to design a two door roadster that does not sell as good. Im sure that will make the Honda co. more $$$$.
