Mugen Releases More Details of CR-Z
For those of you looking forward to the release of the new Honda CR-Z, you may find these details on the Mugen-tuned version to be especially appealing (but don't get your hopes up too much as it is currently not planned for production).
According to a report from MotorTrend, the Mugen CR-Z has had a good deal of thought put into the power train to ensure economy and performance. Quote:
Would YOU buy a Mugen CR-Z if it hit mass production? Why or why not?

Re: Mugen Releases More Details of CR-Z
it doesn't sound like much but that's a decent hp gain. Considering it's 2550lb car it would give an Integra Type R a run for it's money being 2800lbs & 205hp.

Re: Mugen Releases More Details of CR-Z
I'm willing to bet they'll eventually sell some of the parts, rather than sell the car as a whole. I don't see them selling the supercharger though. More like just the body parts, suspension, and wheels.
The 62hp increase certainly seems reasonable, considering this would have to meet U.S. emission standards, and that it's a supercharger on a small engine. It would have been nice to see them push a little harder though, and go a little more extreme. Maybe not 533whp like the Bisimoto CR-Z , but 250-300hp would be nice. |

Re: Mugen Releases More Details of CR-Z
you're right. I doubt the whole car will come out however, the recent mugen civic gives us hope. In the past they have only released limited amounts. You have to respect that. It doesn't flood the market. It does suck counterfits flood ebay

Re: Mugen Releases More Details of CR-Z
It would definitely be awesome if it does in fact come out over here, in all it's prototype glory (It'd also be nice if they would release more Type R's over here ). I have no idea on exact sales figures, but from what I've seen on different sites and forums, I'm assuming that there isn't a Mugen Civic left on any Honda lot (in brand new condition at least). But unfortunately, cars released in limited amounts aren't always given the respect they deserve. There's someone in my local area with a Mugen Civic, that... drives it as his "beater"/winter car And we're not in an area where they simply throw some sand down and call it a day, when it snows. We love our salt here (#1 provider of salt to the entire U.S. until 1900, pioneers of "salt potatoes" , and we even have a freaking museum for salt). Needless to say, cars around here, that are driven in the winter, are severely damaged in a minimum of 2-3 years
