Peice Of Junk Hondas

"au contraire. honadas take more skill to build then some shitty as big block V8... you actually have to THINK when u build these cars on how to make em fun to drive and low gas mileage thus that was how VTEC was introduced. They dont need to go by the terms like v8 = small penis... v10 = near invisible... and so on... drive a 4 cyl... its the manly thing to do! =D"

Soooo, under that logic, the best and fastest car in the world will have 0 cylinders right??

[eckoman_pdx]

The poor guy said that almost 2 weeks ago on page 2, and he took it back very quicly thereafter on page 3...

...anyways, creative use of logic humor there....lol.

Well some people do believe that the best engines in the world are Rotary engines, and they have 0 cylinders. Oh and to the person who said "Never put an exhaust on a 4 banger"

Oh really? I have a 4 banger, i DARE you to race me. Or any other real 4-cyl engine powered car. Like the Lotus Elise, or Exige, or the Lancer Evo MR. Just because there are slow 4 bangers doesnt mean there arent fast ones....

well you can always turbo the v8 too....

Nothing better than a forced inducted v8

WILL EASILY OUTHANDLE YOUR CAR.

See, you just compared three $80K+ and one $30K car to my car that I wasn't so stupid as to pay nearly that much for :-)

That was a dumb comparision on MexSiR's part, but I think the only Honda a GM FWD platform couldn't outhandle would be the current Honda Legend...

Why is there always some agression between the Camaro/Mustang group and the Honda group? Pointless to me...

Gawd when will you people ever learn.......okay read the bold print carefully.

The more power you add to a car, the less MPG your going to make!

American V8 cars dont get quiet as good gas mileage as 4cyl because...well....its a V8 and its a 4cyl. If you put a V8 in a Honda (is it possible?) then watch the gas mileage drop. Not even that, if you build up the 4cyl in the Honda its still going to drop the mpg by a long shot.

i am sick of you cry babies that complain about the american japan rivalry. if it hurts your feelings then go cry about it, or better yet dont read it. i dont see anything wrong with any of this. its half the fun of owning a fast car, or putting money into a car. i might as well get some other things off my chest. i can not stick up for anyone that puts a exaust and a wing on a 4 cylinder, its simply ridiculis. i am pretty impresed with the full out race imports on speedvision and such. i belive in their cause (stupid ass nhra rules regulating everything). and just to be fair to both sides, new mustangs are pretty slow. the last decent american car with out a ridiculis price tag was the trans am, and theyv endid the production in what 01 or 02. anyway keep the rivalry going despite what these crybabies say.

Just to stir the pot a little. I've owned several Accords and several Civics - all 4 bangers. However, if you want a fair amount of muscle and decent gas mileage, there are a couple of domestic mid size cars that are all over Honda's rump. My all time mileage/power champ was a 1975 Olds Starfire with a 231 Buick V-6, Rochester Duece, and turbo 350 automatic. The thing consistently got 35 mpg running 75 mph on interstates and had excellent takeoff. Have had 2 Chrysler Cirrus cars with 2.5 V-6's, and, both got 30 MPG running interstate speeds. Had a 2000 Dodge Intrepid and now a 2001 Chrysler Sebring 4 door with the 200 HP 2.7 V-6. Both of these managed 30-31 Mpg consistently on trips. The Sebring is decently quick, 0-60 in 8 secs. and a 127 mph topend. Friends of mine who have midsize Buicks with the 3800 V-6 (the current version of the old 231) experience similar performance and gas mileage. The Hondas I've owned did better on mileage on in-town driving but never got mileage like this on trips even though 3 of the Hondas were manuals. A friend of mine has a new Honda Accord V6 and the best it'll do is 27 Mpg - performance being about equal to my Sebring. Funny thing - I had a 1995 Chrysler LHS with the big 3.5 L V6, and, while the car's quality was a bit flaky, it consistently delivered 28 MPG on trips and excellent punch for its size. Anyone out there driving one of the new Chrysler 300s with the 3.5 - be interested in what gas mileage you're getting. Honda may deliver a bit more quality now, but, the domestics are closing the gap, and, presently, Buick may be their equal.

no idea there, but i have an 87 buick gn and that keeps up in gas milage with mos honda toyota v6 and beats their 8 cyls. of course only 8's i know of are their biggist luxury suvs. i have 42.5 lbs injectors in it and an 8 setting e prom chip, so everything is adjustable. she runs low 11's on pump super with 22psi, and gets 25-27 mpg in econo mode. i really dont know what et shed run on this setting, but iv never lost to Any inport on this setting. iv heard of fast imports before, but where i live theyr all show no go. and by show i mean thousands of dollars on wings (on a front wheel drive no less) stickers, lights, shiny wheels, and rediculus sounding exaust pipe. do four bangers really make enough back pressure to benefit from a 4 inch exaust? i just dont understand. and to be fair, who ever said it your right. the mustangs that come frome the factory with non functional ram air hoods are just as silly as the stickers on the imports.someone please correct me if im wrong, i just dont get it. i really dont need to as i enjoy blowing the doors off these "show cars".
