^^ i'll abstain from commenting on colin's head.

but after years of brute force domestic musclecars, this f22c in the s amazes me. i don't even like to drive our 350hp c5 corvette anymore. go figure.

I'm just messin' with heather on the supra engine. Its a good motor, but a packaging nightmare. Honda's corporate culture is too rooted in effeciency to go with an inline 6 that is difficult to use in a FWD car. I've actually ahd a bunch of those engines I mentioned.... 20R, 4A-GZE, 3S-GE, and 3S-GTE. Of these, the 4A-GZE was my favorite. Heck, I'd buy that car back if I could find who I sold it to!

Actually we can't! The announced the end of the run for the car. The president of Honda said the next NSX will have a V-10!
