Seems like the author of the article thought "the normal engine put out 120hp/liter, so if you add another liter to the engine, it'll make an extra 120hp!" And composite chassis in a 54k car? a 54k RWD car from a company in japan that only does FWD? It is an interesting article and kinda makes one wish it were true just to see Honda giving the auto world a kick in the nuts.

A 3.0 S2000 that can keep up with a CTS-v in a straight line would seem like a winner to me! I just hope that honda has the chassis locked in a vault somewhere ready to adapt to another car with a higher output engine.
