flylwsi-
when you say honda's can beat vipers you must mean in a straight line. cuz a honda couldnt beat a viper. anything can go fast in a straight line. that is not performance, IMO. performance includes accerelation, speed, AND handling. a honda would get torn up by anything on a track. |

Im sorry but i just dont get why anyone would want a honda.
They do have a good rep for being ultra reliable. They arnt particularly stylish. As far as horsepower goes there pretty low on the auto food chain. What is it exactly that people like about these cars? gas milage? They only hondas I hate are civics because their like roaches where I live and every kid that comes in the auto shop is always like " my hondas fast as shit Im gonna put a turbo on it and beat all the mustangs and camaros and stuff" Would it really satisy a person to dump thousands of dollars in there car just to beat a bone stock car? |

Factory cars with lots of horsepower are usually drastically overpriced. There are few and far between exceptions (I consider the Corvette one such exception) to this rule. Most people aren’t willing to build their cars for horsepower themselves, partially because they have no idea how cheaply it can be done. Look at Ed Bergenholtz’s 720 horsepower (that’s whp, by the way) Honda CRX, which can run the quarter mile in about 9.5 seconds. This car’s value is only about $25,000.
Let’s talk about suspension. I admit that I am not a genius when it comes to suspension systems, but I do know that Honda’s upper and lower control arm systems, used in all small Hondas for years now (except for the newest Civic and the new RSX) are exceptional systems, and represent great potential. Handling dynamics in general work more effectively in lighter cars than heavier ones, which also gives Hondas an edge over the Camaros and Mustangs. What’s the horsepower babble again? Honda Civic Si and Acura RSX have 160 horsepower, Honda Accord V6 and Acura RSX Type S have 200 horsepower, the Honda S2000 has 240 horsepower, the Acura CL and TL Type S have 260 horsepower, and even the base Civics have 115 or 127 horsepower. I wouldn’t call that low on the auto food chain. In the engine department, Honda is making industry standards for the rest of its automotive peer group to follow. They use hard silicate compounds in their engines and forging processes that most companies only use in race motors (at least until recently – they are finding that they need to use these techniques in lower trim line motors to follow the automotive trends). If you want to talk about torque, you won’t get an argument from me. I won’t pretend I don’t know what you’re talking about, because I do. The musclecar era died for me in the mid 1970’s. With the Camaro and Firebird teetering on the brink, it seems that some manufacturers are seeing things the same way, as is the American market place since they aren’t buying enough of them. I see the beauty of a displacement monster, the classic cubic-inch, four-barrel carbed powerhouse, with a powertrain as simple as a textbook engine. But it just doesn’t offer the well-rounded driving experience that modern cars can offer, and that Hondas handle very very well for the low prices at which they are available. What you do get are exceptionally made engines in light cars (which benefits the all-important horsepower to weight ratio), that do happen to get good gas mileage, with good suspension geometry to work with, and a wealth of aftermarket support, including everything from turbochargers to exhausts to carbon fiber hoods. And your statement about Hondas not being particularly stylish is purely subjective. I happen to think most Hondas look great (and if anything they are too stylish – look at the way the Civic absolutely dominates the small car market). It is a shame how because of the sheer numbers of Hondas on the road today, inevitably some owners ruin the image for others. But I hate having to keep justifying my love of Hondas because some punks destroy Honda’s image. That is unfair. |

I liked the car. You know why? Because it's a joke. I see it as the owner tries to have fun. The car is funny! Scroll back and look at it (disregard the comments). It's funny. I doubt it's a daily0criven car. The builder is a creative person who knows how to have fun!

Time to reactivate an old topic
! Looks like John is picking a fight to me, but he has a point in it all. I for one view Hondas as a decent transportation unit ONLY, and not some sort of exotic sports car. I think its downright silly how some people actually believe that the Civic is somehow a superior car to almost anything on the road, and then set about trying to prove it, and failing miserably in the process. Example - a coworker of mine has a pretty much stock (you wouldn't know it by all the goofy visuals he's done to it), 99' Civic, that gets its ass kicked by my 1992 (old is my emphesis) Marquis - thats STOCK! Now THAT is funny. Grampa car verses Teenie bopper car, and the Grampa car wins ! Just wait till I really start working on it .
