I think its really good looking. You gotta figure the black hood, blacked out lights, wing and probably 17s instead of 18s will be on the production version. But that thing is damn good looking.

Before i make any choices about trading in my car i'd like to see some handeling tests, lap time comparisons, i'd like to know whats been done to the suspension, and the curb weight too.

Rep Power: 352 Looks hella nice, I wonder what the price tag is going to be tho. K-series engine?!? Brembo brakes?!? Its probably going to be replacing the RSX, esp if all those reports about 2007 are true.

unlike stupid *** Nismo/Nissan, which rape you for parts! honda chose the smarter route. build a great base car. Give access to aftermarket to develop, then launch around the same time.
