Type-R makes 500 and a 9000+ redline. Put that gem into the next S2000 and NSX(with SH-AWD of course) to make it famous, and the Ridgeline, Pilot, MDX, TL, and RL to make it profitable. Honda already makes V8s for ALMS, IRL, and F1, so it already knows how to build a good V8. Come on Honda, beat Ferrari at their own game! The best part? In 5 years, these motors will be at most $5K in the junkyards, since they won't be rare (well except for the Type-R edition, but since when are they ever cheap?).

The muscle guys haven't met up with a good V8 yet. Wouldn't THAT shut them up.
