Honda's Mugen Motorsports Readying Civic Type R with 240bhp

[ucMP3]

I dislike pontiacs very much. They are ugly as hell IMHO. And maybe not anymore, but as recent as 5 yrs ago, their cars still had a lot of issues with transmissions and electrical things blowing up between 60k and 100k miles. Just my experience with them....

Rear mounted turbos?

What the hell is the benefit of that?

That doesn't count I'm talking 1990+ grand ams and sunfires and all that CRAP!

same benefit as turbos in the engine bay, just doesn't produce all the heat in the engine bay.. maybe a little bit more lag, but you also don't have to have custom exhaust manifolds

Mmm, $40,000+ for 240 bhp? Makes me think of the $30,000 Mugen Si, biggest waste of money evarr!

I actually really like the way it looks...but again, the price is completely outrageous for the car you get.

I agree with you and everyone else that has said it. 35,000 GBP based on the current exchange rate is @$57,000
Hello, for a Civic?

 

[warrier04]

cool car, but entirely too much money.

No pontiac for me. Lexus IS-F FTMFW!!!! Too sexy to put in words.

technically its a holden but yeah..... the civic is ugly and grossly over priced
just like that pos mugen we got here that was nothing more than a stock si with a bodykit ...this does at least have more power
