Let me be the first to say congratulations on your lottery win! Good luck with that project good thing you won the lottery or you might as well have just bought a WRX STi lol

Besides I don't know why everyone is so hung up on the double wishbones - the RSX handles a hell of a lot better than any civic ever did with the d. wishbones in the back and macpherson strut upfront.

Yeah, the RSX does handle better from the factory, but it's not as receptive to lowering and tuning as the Integra. The geometry gets all weird and it handles a lot worse. The RSX is a lot like the EVO in that it's very hard to tune it right and very easy to screw it all up.

Or you could just get one of these:

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.

Oh, you like? Here are some more pics:

Or perhaps this would suit your fancy:

Those are racing engines. I think both from Formula 1. Now put that in an NSX and we are talking.

those are not exhaust stacks. that is the intake. 8 individual intakes or velocity stacks.
