Factory Performance Coupe?????

In the March issue of Road & Track p.78 it says the Civic EX Coupe FP has 160hp..... just wondering if that isn't a misprint, then what did they do to the engine? K20?

I think that it meant 160% of the MSRP is what the dealers were expecting to sell them for [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

-custom highflow intake manifold
-custom headers
-2" exhaust - sport muffler

The entire FP package is supposed to be $4500. I wonder if you can just get the engine work done how much would that cost? It would probably not affect the warranty, so I am interested.

i have seen this car in the showroom of Holmes Honda in Shreveport,LA when i took my car in. Looks like it has kaminari lip kit, exhaust, shift, wheels, and i think lowering springs. The features i read on the sticker didnt say anything to base an assumption of 160hp. sorry
