I don't know why these fast imports are all the rage with kids. By kids I mean late teens to early 20's. When I was a "kid" (late 80s - early 90's) mustang/camaro was the big deal. You could pick up an LX somewhere in the teens and for 3 grand have a screamer. That's why I finally have a (decent) Mustang now (even though the wife hates it).

It seems to me that a 300 horse V8 would be alot cheaper to make than a 300 horse 4 cyl. Not only that, How reliable can a high horse 4 cyl be?

One more thing, No matter how much ponies you stuff into a 4 banger, they sound like crap. I also have a 78 F100 that I fixed up and put a 351W four bbl dual exhaust in. I would think that a done up honda would run circles around it. But then again mine sounds so much better.

93 GT, 3.55's, K&N, lowered, sub frames, Hurst shifter
78 F100 351W, dual ex, 4 bbl, A/C, buckets from a 96, electric fan, C/D changer, new everything else
96 Taurus Wagon (at least it's got the 24V V-6)
