it's a little dark, but...

if it comes standard, thats sweet. I just don't think that it was a good thing to add the tire pressure reader. Waste of technology in the car and it also adds weight.

I like the carbon fiber specs. Aluminum hood. I was wondering, why not a carbon fiber hood.

I think the displacement went up. I was already thinking about a motor swap from this car. Imagine, 260hp standard under 3 litres.

Because CF is not always lighter... also i belive someone poster lots of pic of this car before the crash.. The thing is rediculess. I would love to have one but i dont think i would want to pay for it.

Actually, dry carbon (if the material is completely dry carbon) is lighter than Aluminum. The reason why they probably used an aluminum hood over the dry carbon is rigidity and balance.

so, something about 256 horsepower
and 173 pound feet of torque in a screamingly rigid chassis with 6 piston front and 2 piston rear brakes that makes peak horsepower at 8200 and makes peak torque at 6000 with all that farbon ciber and aluminum and shit just says, BUY MEE
I mean, I donno what putting xs of carbon fiber and carbon fiber reinforcement on everything and the hump down the middle and you know, you saw the video.
I would imagine its stiff as shit.
Throw some r compound tires on it and some stiffer springs and up the dampening on that little blue button....
mmm
173 torque N/A..

they have to give it a different name
it cant be called a civic
if its called an s3000 or some thing
or under the acura badge
then it probably would sell
provided it was all painted
no one will buy it with a visible aluminum hood and unpainted carbon fiber
its ugly.

Plus importing it overseas, domestic import taxes, and getting it to fulfill domestic EPA/Emissions regulations...

If Honda did all the work for me and sold the same car for $50k sticker tax tag and title, I'd probably consider it.
