OMFG IT GOES FAST IN A STRAIGHT LINE!!!

Put down that power on a track on a FWD and see how fast it is.

FWD sucks, case closed

Understeer into the wall :)
And besides that engine sounds like crap...

I agree with what's been said about honda even bothering with this segment, they're hopeless trying to sell a performance V8, they should really work on their V6s though and try to produce the same power with the same fuel economy as their competitors.
All they have now is their 4 bangers in Canada that are actually decent competitive engines...

At the time it was better than any Acura or Lexus.

[QUOTE=orange7;6516085]Ya.. I totally agree with you that what Honda is doing is actually a really smart move in a business stand point.[quote]

Absolutely. A civic can be sold, in quantity, in North America, and much of Asia, Europe, Australia and South America (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_c...rm_derivatives)

A Camaro or Mustang-type car can be sold in quantity in... North America (Maybe! The Camaro was shitcanned for a reason!) and probably Australia.

VTAK isn't the end all and be-all. There are already a number of small-displacement, high-revving DOHC V8 engines that tell you what can be done with that type of engine (4L v8 in the E92 M3; 4.3l V8 in the Ferrari F430). VTAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaK isn't going to be incredibly better.

Yes. Material costs are lower as the car is lighter, more efficient, and has fewer moving parts.

But I always thot Acura is meant to compete with premium brands. Buy by the way it looks, it's still a par under Lexus/Infiniti. Seriously. Lexus/Infiniti is upscale. Acura is nothing but the rebadged Honda.

[quote=Blinky;6516594]I also want to see other car manufactures bringing up new v8 as well.. I don't just want to see a honda v8. I want to see v8, v10, etc from all companies, even thought it will mean a loss for them in a business stand.
I think you've misunderstood me. I love the v8 sound from a Ferrari, and I would never want ferrari to stop making v8.
I was only pointing specifically at Honda because this thread is about Honda. LOL

vtech is nothing but marketing... just like hemi.

Please attribute quotations correctly. Thanks :)

That said, you are correct. Though initially, I believe that VTAAAAAAAAAAaaaK was unique in that it did timing, lift and duration all in one system. The other mfgs have caught up now.

yeah ment to do it on orange7

:bowdown:

Seriously, am I the only one who is upset that the NSX AND the v8 engine has been canceled by Honda? Then again, I wouldn't be upset if Honda had never announced developing them.

Oh, this goes for any other car manufactures as well.
If nissan had stopped the development on the R35, I would be upset but not pissed.

honda has always been, and continue to be the most boring auto manufacturer in this world.

Yeah, because considering the age & economical demographic of the members that comprise this site, only a small margin of members would've actually made use of brand new real high end sports (or exotic) cars.

Now if a certain auto manufacturer were to say, it will cease their R&D to hybrid, electric, or alternate fuel engines everyone would be more up in arms as its more of a technology that everyone will someday benefit from. (or should benefit from at least).

Is it just me or does Honda take a lot of bad mouthing on RS. I know a lot of punks drive Honda...but do we need to bash a company that builds good cars?

We're in a recession...it's a business decision...compared to other companies...Honda is doing better....by sticking to their core values.

You should go this this thread on acurazine

Its funny the amount of bashing they do on acura...on an acura forum! LOL

I've never said anything about ppl on this site being able to afford those cars or not. Besides, v8 and rwd doesn't have to be used in high end sports (or exotic) cars. Although it's going to cost a lot to put one in a regular honda, I think it's a good option to have for the Honda Ridgeline. Furthermore, I'm pretty sure most of us will like to see and be able to afford a rwd RSX/integra if it's offered here. Now let's move away being able to afford v8 and RWD technology. The Acura lineup needs to have some sort of performance that differs it from Honda. Afterall, Acura is a premium brand (well not really). I think it will be cool to have the ZDX offered in a vtec v6 and a vtec v8 as well as sh-rwd and sh-awd. That would be some "interesting" news to read about.

Ignore teh troll.

Anyway, put 2 F20C blocks together and they could make a V8 with over 400hp.

im getitng rid of my tl and getting a g8 g2

RWD FTW

but V8s are just optional, Honda doesn't really need V8s really....

Sorry, that's Toyota. Seriously, they don't have a sporting model anymore... not even in the sport-compact segment.

Corolla XRS - seriously!? :eek::confused:

^
IS-F

Toyota not Lexus. Lexus has sporty cars. asahai said Honda, not Acura, so I'm comparing Honda to Toyota.

^ its the same shit different pile. acura is the same dam thing as honda. just a little nicer on the inside. lol. Toyota the company made the IS-F. Honda made a supercar back in the 90s. then made a shittier version later on. atleast toyota had the supra and now has the IS-F. i am biased tho cuz i would never really look into buyin a japanese car. but i would totally buy a toyota before i buy a honda. to me. therye the exact same thing but toyota has always been a step or two ahead of honda.




honda does make good lawnmower engines tho. gota give them that!
