Sad but True, Mugen ripped off Toyota
Yup, the Mugen paint job is a rip off of Dan Gurney's All American Racing GTP cars. As you can see from my RC-10L with the Eagle Mk.II body.... As the Bare Naked Ladies said, "It's all been done before..."

Ha, Why would Honda want to rip off a 30 year old engine made my Yamaha? Seriously, any Toyota engine with a "G" in the name was designed by Yamaha (yup all the good ones.... 4AG, 3SGE, 5MGE, 4AGZE, 3SGTE, 5MGTE). Toyota's straight six draws it's lineage all the way back to the 2000GT that you saw in James Bonds "You Never Live Twice"

Well, the had is where all the magic happens! Imagine a regular 16V head on the 2.0 in the S2000....
Nissan 2.0 = 140
Mazda 2.2 = 142
Toyota 2.2 = 135
BMW 1.8 = 140
Mits 2.0 = 120
It's all about the Head baby!
BTW, I remember the "slogan" in the pit lane when Yamaha was racing in Formula 1: "Unless it snows, the Yamaha blows" Stephen already told you to face facts, you're a Honda slut now.....
