    wow that's incredible. I'm really liking it and that orange they used is great. Probably the most exciting thing to come out of Honda since the s2k.

    Looks great!
    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”
    —Cicero, Roman statesman and lawyer

    Just a "look what we can do" exercise by Mugen.

    The race engine ain't production spec and probably won't last more than a few thousand miles. But this is pretty exciting for Honda fans who has long for an V8.

    That's hot!

    Anyone else notice the guy wearing the SARS mask in the 3rd pic? Haha.
    Some people are funny. They spend money they don't have, to buy things they don't need, to impress people they don't like.

    Japanese always wear mask when they carry cold/flu. Nothing to do with SARS.
