SlammedBlueEM2 is on a distinguished road

Sigh...

Until Honda/Acura says so. Don't believe the media. They're gay until they say Acura will bring it. Everything now is rumors in fumes.

it's not just 20hp. i mean for example the ITR (dc2) and the gsr. you probably wonder why such a big deal. like 25+hp?? and you pay like gobs $$$ more. its the entire package. the handling, the weight reduction, the reputation etc. It's the same for the rsx-R (or ITR in japan). 20hp doesnt sound big, but it is a totally different car w/ brembos, recaros, lsd, yada yada....

oh contrare..(however you spell it) the new

STI which i think is already here is exclusive for the FIRST TIME ever only to North America. 300hp/300 torque AWD 2.5L (but the gobs of potential is the big thing)...subbie got it right finally...now hopefully other companies follow...

i agree w/ you on the lsd...take for example that neon srt thingy. i mean best bang for the buck, but just imagine if it HAD an lsd, it would be sooooo much better.

Limited Slip differential - quick and dirty makes both tires spin instead of just 1!!! On a celica GT-S takes about 1 second off a 1/4 mile time from what I've seen!!

Lighter chassis (minus a/c and moonroof to name a few things)
Lighter aluminum front lower control arms
Larger rear sway bar (22mm v 19mm)
17" wheels and better suspension
Brembo brakes and larger rotors
Port and polished intake manifold
Extended lift on cams
Higher compression ratio (11.5:1 v 11:1)
Longer header
Increased HP and torque
Helical LSD and larger final drive
Recaro seats
S2000 pedals

There are other things, but I can't think of them right now.

You could to the Integra type-r so I would figure that yes you could. It would probably be around $1500 bucks more and the dealer would do it for you. But since we are talking about a car you can't get, it's all hypothetical anyway... :sigh: Common Honda show us what you got.
