wow.... people, you don't know what you are talking about. This technology is not meant for that. Honda have always concern about good handling, implementing new technologies on their cars to achieve great performance over its competitors(remember the best double wishbone suspension (engineered by Honda, 4ws(4 wheel steering on the 90-91 Preludes), ATTS on 97-2002 Preludes, etc.).

That's why many of you have to keep in mind that a car is not only its engine, but manay other things they develop for a better ride, and not only maximum acceleration, eventhough we all know Honda is the best engine manufacturer and engineers for mass production engines, demostrated with the s2000 engine, demostrated with the K-Series engine, the performance of the B-Series (used since 1984 thru 2001), demostrated with the reliability of the D-Series engine, demostrated with the power output from very small engines with really ULTRA LOW EMISSIONS.
Many of you have to learn that a car is not made only by horsepower, and not all are intended for racing.

At one of my races I came across this guy in a brand new Jaguar S type, I asked him how it did on the track, he said "I dont know yet, its my rental car"

Another guy had a Chrysler Sebring...rental car.

I also know of some people that bring out G35 sedans & such, so it wouldnt be uncommon to see an RL out there.
