No there are some very fast and respectable Hondas out there. Its just that for what it takes to go fast you would have to spend alot more money with a Honda engine.

The K series so far has put an end to that,but then again look at the price for the swap. Then you have to swap it, then you have to boost it and by the time your done you have over 10k invested.

4G63 engine and tranny -$600, I've seen it cheaper
Swap- one mount lines up the other 3 arent impossible
wire it up and you already have a 12 sec honda. At this point simple upgrades will make the car fly!
