My little brother and I were arguing last night about the possibility of some kinda FI option from Honda. I think there's a slight possibility. He told me that the Honda reps told him there's no plans for it. What do you guys think? Maybe a supercharger on an Si as an option?
this civic thing is driving me so crazy i actually had a nightmare of it that i was at the show when they did the reveal and it was ugly and old looking and had a tuned down d17... yes a freakin tuned down d17... i was so happy to wake up
FWD with a lot of Torque I don't think Honda will make something like that. Variable valve timing is hondas thing they won't turbo or supercharge. I heard the old Acura Legend was turbo though, but it was probabaly RWD.

the old acura legend i believe was still fwd and ive never heard of it with a turbo. nice cars tho
i dont see why they wouldnt put a torquey fwd car out. chevy is putting a 350 in the monte carlo with 300hp in FWD im estimating 270-290 ft/lb
Your right about the Legend, but I heard turbo and RWD somewhere. I guess I was half asleep or something when I heard it cause it doesn't really make sense.
Most FWD sport compact Hondas I see usually don't have a lot of torque but there still fast. So I'm not sure about them having crazy torque numbers. Maybe too much torque on FWD car reduces handling .

they dont have much torque cus its a 4 cylinder. and alot of torque would affect steering with whats called "torque steer" basically when you stand on it off the line the wheels jerk to one side. but most companies are able to reduce that problem to almost nothing
