I think mid 140's is closer to the mark.................bearing in mind they don't exactly give my standard 23yr old GTE 16v too much trauma.
Performance (all figures are manufacturer claims)
0-60 mph in 6.4/6.4 seconds (JDM/EDM pre-FL), 6.2/6.4 secs (JDM/EDM FL) 0-100 mph in 15.1/16 secs (JDM/EDM FL) Top speed 112 mph (180 km/h) and 146 mph (235 km/h) (JDM/EDM both)
Nice motors though and I'd consider one as a replacement for the GTEs in a few years perhaps. |
I used to own one and saw 156mph verified out of it at elvinton. I know what honda quote, i feel thats a little conservative tho.

hsr way too expensive and would you want to chop one about for engine transplant start with a std chevette
lotus sunbeam better to buy a std sunbeam and work from there as the lotus hold a high premium too 1 reason is for the zf gearbox now fetching in excess of £1200 good or bad plus the engines are shit

You had a good one then I presume. S2000's don't manage that and I had one of those for 6 months! |
