well there is the 4cyl ecoboost version....but only 5.2 seconds 0-60...so rubbish 

Ps I heard one of your motors the other week. Most savage exhaust note I think I have heard.
Inside you just get more of the supercharger noise.
As for 5.7 0-60....
A mate of mine has just put an order down for an Audi SQ5.
Yes it's 4wd, but it's a turbo diesel and weighs two tons.
It does 0-60 in 5.1 despite only having 10bhp more than the Civic. Imagine getting beasted by a SUV?!
Truthfully though, you're all stuck in the same traffic jam.
I'm tempted to get a nice EP3 and stick an LSD in it. Good boot access for the dog and something to have a little giggle in.

Lots of examples can be seen with bottom ends going now, it's a tread carefully car. Would it be better with a H22 inserted (without the chocolate gearbox) ?
The only reason bottom ends go on the K20 is inept owners, they are bullet proof like the F20 when looked after.
H22 has more issues, EGR & dodgy cranks spring to mind. Plus it's no where near as tunable. Throw a few breathing mods and a decent map on a K20 and they're good for 240+bhp.
