And it costs an arm and a leg to get it to perform like that. Awesome car though

sure was... that is an awesome ride, but $48k is pretty steep for that EP. im pretty sure i could build a more solid car w/o the "mugen" name and still have 10K to play with!!!

Well that is the counting "retail" prices, we all know those parts or replica parts can be had for much less. Great exposure for the EP, and I loved when he said how much he loved the sound of the K20 :D

this is the EP with the carbon fiber front end (bumper, doors, fenders, hood, etc) right?

I saw that episode, it was awesome. It had CTR engine, tranny, etc. Mugen airbox. Then engine bay looked so clean. 14.7@97MPH, 0-60=6.1sec. Damn..

they spent 48 g, but most of it was into cosmetics, so you cant look at it like they spent that much money in the engine. because they didnt.. if they woulda put ALL the money in the engine it would be much faster...

i member'd seeig this on car and driver a whiles back, and too bad they spent soo much money on cosmetics for the car rather then performance...numbers couold have been so much better, but i agree with you peking, the test driver did give a really good review for the ep3.

there's several EP's on this board that would DESTROY the mugen EP in every performance category you can think of.. (mine is one of em)..

and we all spent a hell of a lot less than 50K on our cars
