Yea so i was going to work today (i work at the mall) and i parked where i usually do in the undeground parking lot. So during my break i went back out to my car. When i walk out the first thing i see is the beutiful lancer evo in blue man it stuck out so much. Then i look to my left and theres an srt-4?! over at the ned of the garage is a Brand new Gti vr-6 i believe or R32 wutever it is its beautiful. So to my point How come like evry company has a stock turbo car in our class?!? where the hell is the stock turbo honda? i want one.

Umm. Honda said they didn't want to dip into it. They are into making economic cars not performance ones. Exception being the S2000 and the NSX. Old news, question has been asked for a long time. Wont happen anytime soon. Sorry man.

if they all have em stock, what makes em special? i'd rather have to customize a slow car to be fast than to just buy it fast. unless it's a lambo or somethin. lol.

Well if you are truly trying to make it fast then start out with a non-turbo car that's fast. Not a non-turbo slow car.

The stock turbos *usually* aren't all that. For the car to be a lot faster you have to slap on a bigger turbo so it's just redundant.

Honda makes a few turbo cars over in the land of the rising sun, of course most of them are 3 cyl with 50hp.

Hondas an NA company, and they are pretty damn good at what they do too; when you look at NA HP per liter, theyve got every other mainstream mass production company beat.
Hell even EX civics make 74.7 hp per liter, thats impressive when you realize: The new viper makes 60.8, and the Z06 makes 70.1.

S2000s make 110hp per liter....
NSXs make 90

So as a vastly NA company, Honda rules.

It took forever just for Honda to admit to v6, and went from the 4s to 6s..

I dont think we'll see turbo from honda anytime soon.

oh yeah and i totally agree, Honda is one of the best manufacturers to take the NA route, similar to how BMW is with their engines. Take a look at their M3: 333 HP from an inline 6 NA.

Honda even races in Formual 1 and other openwheel races with NA engines. from the 2004 S2000 booklet, they are running some open wheel series on a completely New V8 NA, no turbos here.

Honda will never make turbo cars. BMW also stays away from turbos and goes N/A.
