I would love to have one with a k20a or preferably a TSX K24 with the K20a's i-vtec extra adjustability.

If only they would make a type-r version and release it here....

Why do I have a feeling Honda might disappoint car enthusiast?

They might make a SI version but high doubts of a K-series motor. Might keep it strictly hybrid...

Better be powered by a hot version of the k series, otherwise I could care less.

The car is not going to have 98hp in the U.S.

The Insight weighs 2700lb and blasts to 60mph in 10.3 seconds. Slow, I know. Honda only claimed the CR-Z would have a tweaked version of the IMA hybrid system. IMO, the car will have about 140hp. That should make it accelerate at acceptable speeds.

even CR-Z is a 140hp. so maybe 0-60 in 7-8 second? still a slow ass.
