I think you meant RACING a Honda... Or is regular driving some sort of competition?

Your car weights more than a friggin SUV and can burn a clutch after 3 miles of driving... perhaps that's what's bugging you so much? Wish you had Honda's reliability? Poor guy, I understand you now :(

You wouldn't say that if you'd ever been to Japan. Honda is a socio-economic powerhouse. Honda is tha largest engine maker in the world and they've got a well deserved reputation for quality. While most models aren't exactly sporting, they have the acclaimed NSX, S200 and Integra TYPE-R to back them up. Can you name any American cars that can compete in those segments?

I kinda actually understand what you're saying but both Enzo Ferrari and Sochiro Honda were big into racing ever since the beginning. Enzo looked for sponsers so he could build fantastic race cars and Sochiro started racing the moped type bicycles. All of the duo's cars are competition bred. Sochiro's company is now present in many kinds of racing and even dominant in some. F1, JGTC, MotoGP and Motocross; I'm sure there are others.

For sporty road cars Honda has many, any Type-R is worthy in its class and then there are the NSX and S2000. True, there's probably a Mopar that has more torque than all of them put together but how many races has it won? Honda has 50+ years of winning race heritage!! They sell Civics so they can race 900 HP V10s :D

...and the fact a Civic can sometimes manhandle a muscle car brings out dregs who then try to drag Honda down...

Honda makes great cars. I own a 05 accord that is awesome on gas. Of course, I think the original poster was referring to the civic rice craze that seems to be loosing its following. I would guess some people were confused that they were buying an economy car... You have to admit the body designs on the accords and civics look pretty sporty.

its just the failure isnt due to the vtec system as you implied
if the engine blows, the weakest link was the con rods, piston rings, head gasket, cooling system bla bla bla not the vtec itself

Have you ridden in it? I would have thought that a change to a higher performance cam would create a noticeable responce from the engine.

it would ... if the lift profiles changed by a great amount
but on non type r, s2000, and nsx engines
the vtec lobes used are all geared towards increasing fuel economy decreasing emmissions, and no significant power or torque change can be seen, the low rpm lobes just cracks open one valve a lil while opening the other medium lift for a better swirl and more efficient combustion, the high rpm lobe in these vtecs are more akin to regular cams, as opposed the the afformentioned performance vtecs who's low rpm lobe is a regular cam with the high rpm cam using high lift and more overlap

Just because u hate american cars doesn't mean there are no sports cars in america. U proved to be just as ignorant as the creator of this thread, just that ur on the other side of the spectrum.

Ford Mustang, Corvettes, Viper, Monte Carlos (nascar?), Chargers and there are probably a few others and many on the way. And I hope u meant Honda Integra as in the Acura RSX in America because otherwise ur just talking BS. The acura integra type r's aren't that impressive compared to the cars listed above.

Honda does have better handling than most american cars tho and I personally prefer asian or european cars because of the quality factor and are generally sportier and much more fun to drive, all im saying is that u shouldn't undermine or overlook American brands just because they aren't featured in 2F2F or because everyone loves to bash them.

Well forgive me for making this my first post on this forum, but "blewUaway" needs to take his thumb out of his arsehole and catch a wake up. Comparing Honda to Saturn is like comparing Micheal Schumacher to the latest rookie A1 driver. You can't. :mad:

Take a look at the reliability records. The Fit/Jazz is constantly the number one car in SA for CSI and least faults per 100 new vehicles... The Civic Type-R (we get the FN2 hatch) has been acclaimed by just about every single publication as the best Hot Hatch, I could go on for hours. The Civic sedan won the 2007 COTY award here. The new diesel motors are probably the cleanest and quietest you can get.

And the fact that Honda neither owns another manufacturer (who would sponge off Honda's technology) nor IS OWNED by another manufacturer (where Honda could sponge of their technology) proves Honda's success. Never insult a man on a bicycle with a water bottle as a fuel tank.;)

And yes I am a Honda fan, I run the Honda Owners Club of South Africa.

What cars do you people drive!? Hondas are the best Japanese car on the market today. Its a jap with german engineering. If you dont like Hondas I suggest you get a life. QUICK!

OMG

we have never had any Type-R's in SA until the new FN2 hatch... I have only ever seen one DC5 (Botswana registered). We have two locally registered DC2s, no EP3s and one EK9 (the locally registered cars are all imports):(

I used to live in SA for 18 years (I was born there). Now I live in New Zealand and now I see more Type-R's than I see grass (New Zealands got a lot of grass by the way). I drive a DC5 and its simply devine!

Despite this I still think that a Honda motor will outrun any other motor on the japanese market.

2JZGTE? RB26DET? VQ-series?

or the upcoming VR38DET?

Come now, Honda is great, but not that great.

I do certainely agree, the 2JZGTE and RB engines are all great engines, especially the upcoming over-engineerd VR38DET. However, they are all in a different price range and they all have different platforms compared to Hondas. In my opinion Hondas are unbeatable when it comes to 4 cylinder naturally aspirated engines. Unless something seriously went wrong over the last few years that Im not aware of!

This will be a good argument to have in ten years time :)

there is a ricer image on honda cars and that overshadows the good engineering in it. they supply reliable engines that do win races (not in F1 yet!!!). im happy with mine so will be buying honda until i can afford a mclaren f1

I agree that the Honda is sometimes overshadowed by ricer image but what bout the S2K & NSX??? they make great Time Attack vehicles and "Factory X" has a crazy time attack NSX...so i think Hondas sometimes are looked down apone but it shouldnt be done.....


now dont get the crazy idea that a CRX will beat a fixed up Nissan or something but some Honda's are alright.

eh..actually the hipower CRX (the hatch one) kicked ass at the last nissan vs honda trackday, took a nismo R34 GTR to beat it.

really..well i guess the CRX does have a huge weight avantaged, and if u get the engine right then the power to weight should be decent....thanks for telling me I would have never knew..sometimes a good upset is g00d...

yeah, it was predicted to be a landslide in nissan's favour..but a handful of well driven honda's took some of the top spots.

hey, i can block two lanes, it's just for how long (or in the mini, parking perpendicularly ..okay that wouldn't work)
