I need to concentrate on the emission side of it also. E85 will help me through this.

If my 3.8L was making 900rwhp you do realize that it'll go much faster and quicker than your fwd honda with 450whp right? So it wouldn't be equivalent first of all. Second of all, my mustang is my dd, I do not need 900rwhp to get from point a to point b. Third of all, if I wanted to make 900rwhp I wouldn't want to modify 3.8L just like I wouldn't modify honda motors, for a simple reason, too expensive, there are better/cheaper ways to make that kind of power.



I'm sorry you feel this way and have to make fun of people with special needs.

I do not make fun of people that are handicapped, it's not very nice.



Honda has paved the way in technology for the internal combustion engine.
It started in F1 back in 1984 and they dominated until 1988. Look up the
RA-166-E Honda engine. 1.5L that makes 1500HP
Honda has contributed a ton when it comes to automobiles.

This is 2009, maybe in 1988 honda was able to compete, this year I am sorry to inform you they're not around, but they do make good commuter cars.


I agree!!!



See its people like you that make me motivated. I thank you for this.
I have set a goal. To have a car that will get 65+mpg,run 10.5@135mph in the 1/4 or faster,be able to go 600+miles on a tank of gas and not have to worry about breaking down,be able to run gasoline or E85 (Flex Fuel). pass my local emissions and all this for $6000.00 or less invested.

You're welcome, I am very happy that I motivated you to get to your goal, that's what friends are for. I see that your goals set very high, but I usually follow simple rule,

Price, Speed, Reliable <-------- You can only pick 2.


So what do you have thats special. Car, Engine, transmission, performance mods, and how fast is it?

I don't have anything special, it's just a toy, it ran 132mph in a quarter, runs on 87 octane, n/a for now, gets 30mpg, and I have $3500 in it.
