The all-mighty Type R (14.7, 6.5 for a '97)barely beats the V6 Mustang, but still, the ITR is the flagship of the Honda fanboys, who still pay 15K for them, only to be paced by a V6 Mustang.

Regardless of aftermarket support, there's much more potential to be had from the 4L V6 that produces more torque than HP, than from a FWD 4-banger. I could agree that the V6 Mustangs are slow, but first the entire Honda FWD community needs to cut its losses, abort all attempts at being fast, and apologize for wasting gas.
