You little boys and your HP numbers... Whatever it becomes in the future, it needs more TQ and there is no replacement for displacement...

They should give it an I6 like in the BMW M coupe while maintaining the weight and balance.

I vote for balance and handling over more power. If you lighten the car up, the weight to power ratio improves, which is better for the track. Adding 6 cylinder in the front will liven it up, but would be taking the car in the wrong direction for an environmentally conscience company such as Honda.

[QUOTE=vincesf,Jun 26 2008, 10:23 AM]Wouldn't you rather see an S2000 replacement that was smaller and lighter, but targeted more at the Lotus Elise with Honda refinement and amenities?

[QUOTE=Vitt,Jun 26 2008, 05:47 PM] And I don't really understand where you get the idea of Elise being "kit car-like?"
