Its not impossible to create a fast Honda; its just more costly, time consuming, and difficult than creating a fast Ford.

A guy around here used to drive around and race an older Civic CRX with an built Integra GSR motor and a 50 shot...I believe he ran mid 12s and suprised alot of Mustang and Fbody guys. I have nothing but respect for a car like that; a lot of time and effort went into making an underdog with decent performance that no one expects.

This is the exception though, most Hondas are 17 second cars with big wings and goofy wheels. Which is what gives the few real "import enthusiasts" bad reputations...oh well, better them than us.
