The K24 in the TSX is nice too, but do a search on how everyone thinks about that engine's performance in that car, and the common answer is "gutless".
We can go into swaps and such, but I'm talking about factory bone-stock performance.

Killing the Prelude, although it wasn't really mistake because they weren't selling well.

People who don't know shit about cars (read: people who only keep up with the Mustangs, Camaros and GTOs of the land) have a hard time believing I have a four cyl. I had a good girl_friend from high school tell me that I didn't know what I was talking about and if my car was -that- fast -- it must've had a V6. Funny thing is, I'm making more horsepower STOCK than her Camaro (V6 auto; or any Mustang V6 created), I have wayyy less drivetrain losses, and I'm oh -- probably 400lbs lighter.
