Yes you did help, thank you.

My friends seem to have problems with their GT's, and my frieds with a 98 svt cobra has some problems too (engine problems on all of them). So the cobra is more reliable then the GT's?

I am assuming the Cobra is a GT engine supercharged and reinforced. Am I right? Or no. What other changes are made?

Honda KNOWS how to make serious power - that's a fact.
Now if they can only figure out to make these ULEV compliant

Let's not forget the 3-liter V10 Honda is capable of:


Honda RA001E V10

Manufacturer: Honda

Capacity: 3,000 cc

Cylinders: V10

Cylinders #: 10

BHP: >800

RPM: >17.000

Valves #: 40

Valve mechanism: Pneumatic

Ignition system: Honda PGM-IG

Injection system: Honda PGM-FI

Spark plugs: NGK


In theory: halve the rpms (for a road car), get half the power...400HP out of 3-liters (I REPEAT...in theory...or my dreams).

Yeah and let's not forget that they rebuild those engines on a regular basis... I'm sure that would be covered under warranty though, right?
