---> Since the EFILIATED thread got closed I wanted to put my .02 in on the retarded argument that Honda is better than Ford or ViceVersa.

1) Honda is the shit. PERIOD. If you do not believe this then you are a dork.

2) Honda is an ENGINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY that also makes cars. That makes it pretty tough to compare them to almost any other AUTO MANUFACTURER directly. Furthermore, more RACING technology trickles down to commuter cars in the Honda camp than pretty much ANY other manufacturer - w/ BMW and GM probably a close 2nd, prob followed by Toyota and then Ford.

And for a little history... VTEC is the result of FAILED cvcc technology attempts from Ford. Ford got it started and could not make it work - pitched it to Honda and rejoiced b/c they thought that they just sold some JUNK to the dummies overseas until Honda beat EVERY manufacturer to market for the Clean Air Act regulations. Honda trashed the technology, kept the name (CVCC) and the rest is history. Since then, Honda has prided itself on emissions-friendly engines not gas-guzzling 500hp ozone-killers.

But MAKE NO MISTAKE about it - if they wanted to produce a production v8 the rest of the world would take fucking note, and other companies would be retarded to not buy a couple for reverse-engineering. There's a little race called the Indy 500... you may have heard of it although it's kinda grassroots. The ENTIRE 33 car field for F1 for 2010 had engines manufactured and designed by who? Enough said. IF Honda wanted to build a 2010 SHO-smashing LSx-crushing beast they could do it quite easily (w/ a little rear-axle help from Ford... 9in maybe? LOL).

I said all of this to show you that 1) the argument was dumb (although David represented) and 2) get back to the racing talk b/c you guys are obv lacking on "your roots" LOL. Happy tuning.

And no I am not a "fanboy" of anything. If it has an engine, I'm into it...

Take care kids.
