The CR-Z is a joke. It's supposed to be the "spiritual successor to the CRX." Bullcrap. It's the next Insight, plain and simple. I thought Honda would have learned when nobody bought them. The Insight would have been great if A) it didn't look so weird (remove the fender-over whel thing), and B) if it was offered with a non-hybrid engine. That would have made it more affordable. The Insight is super-light (by today's standards) and very aerodynamic, but has no pretense of handling or performance. That's what the CR-Z will be. If it doesn't come with enough room to fit a K20, it's toast. And if it can't pull more than 0.9g with a decent set of tires, it's toast.

As for the swapped Insight, I saw a few years ago an Insight with a B18C. It was a drag car. I'm surprised nobody has taken them land-speed racing. That's what that car would be good at. No aero drag, light weight, and with a big motor, it could do some damage to the domestics. HASport, help us out!!!
