and will be sold in japan...hopefully it will reach US markets...

Why?

I mean as competition to what? Most of the market is going turblown-econoboxen, honda is coming out with that to compete? In the US market?

I dunno...hard to convince people away from boost...

does having two R's make it twice as better than the ones with one R?

RRRRRRRREEEEETTTTTAWWWWDDDDDEEEEDDD

dang that thing would totally rip the 8,

Haa haa...you said "dang"...

I want that motor.

i think it looks dope.

Looks sweet, definitely looks like an EVO. I like it.

Its torque (160 lb-ft) and horsepower (238) numbers are similar to the 8, but it weighs about 300 lbs less. So it *should* be a little faster than the 8.

I wouldn't even care if they called it Mugen RR or Mugen RRR or Mugen RRRRR; it's probably a faster car than the 8 regardless. And it doesn't look bad at all.

Give credit where credit's due. It's not like everything else is shit except for the 8.

i would have bet abbid's money it was fake- who knew?:dunno:

Even a mugen civic can match with the 8, I am going insane!

Quick someone go mock up some of them badges....I bet you'll make a fortune on ebay lol.

no, but the civic would beat the 8 not just match it.

There's a Mugen one coming to the states but it doesn't boast the power that that one does. It's faster in Japan; carrying more around 30 hp more than the A-spec version. The Mugen one coming to the states is different from the SI by suspension, wheels, and aerodynamics.

They are only making 300 RR's in Japan and only in Milano Red.
I believe 2000 of those Mugen Civics are coming to the states.

Check out the Honda concept page...

holy crap.1 minute and 6 seconds at tsukuba..i've always loved the sound of K series motors.

My RX-8 does Tsukuba faster..










in forza..
but then my forza 8 is a 650+ horsepower 3 rotor that weighs 2406 lbs ;)
