the price is very inflated.. how ever...

for all the parts you WILL be getting ie: very strong capable and mod friends motor with kpro along and some ips cams (when they come out for the z3 head) you can get an easy 240 whp ALONE! plus LSD and 6 speed...suspension, limited edition mugen gp's, and various exterior mugen products, plus mugen interior buckets and nav, plus a ____ load of other things coming along with this car... 30k is what you'd wind up spending on parts with the car bought at about 22k for a normal si 4dr..

and for those who think this car is rice.. YOU HAVE NO FKN CLUE WHAT THE FK UR TALKING ABOUT.... you wana see some rice just check half if not a good 80% of the scions on this site.... that honda is far from rice...

Maybe it not rice but come on for that price. I would buy something with some ***** and that thing doesn't have any.I like the fact that there will only be 1000 but its still a honda .

that thing is NICE... and this is coming from someone who HATES hondas. it may be a little overpriced but mugen has to make their money too... btw i hope the people that were saying "id rather buy an evo or sti" were expecting to buy a used one... a new sti or evo will NOT cost you 30k out of the dealership HAHA its almost funny to think that it would.

not to mention you are getting honda quality over mitsu quality. i think that SI is sick. i think what tcpete is saying is 100% true. with just some little tweaking here and tehre you got youself on nice N/A beast (if you where talkin about N/A pete) i actually think the styling and performance of that car (honda) is pretty sick and the price isnt that far out of wack, for the extra stuff you're getting thats a (dare i say) fair price. this car would mostlikely be a lot easier to put more power down then your regular SI. props to honda, if i could afford it i would consider trading the tC for one. the only reason why i would consider anything else would MAYBE be the new STI, but no info has really been released on that quite yet.

As for Hondas I know the K20 is a good moter. But I also know a guy that works for Acura and has blown up the moter in it so many times that he had to sign off that his warranty is no longer good.He also said that the k20's have a lot of problems and this is comming for a factory trained tech. As for the EVO X I have one on order and before tax title and license it will be about 30,657.00 so for any extra grand I am going with some AWD. If your friend is breaking even with Evo's did the guy in the evo know that they were racing

I got the base Gsr in red because the mr only comes in cvt. The cvt is cool but it will get old realy fast.Thats about the only difference between the two besides nav and a lip kit.But i cant wait it should be here in Jan-Feb sometime.

I think the the Mugen Si is bad a$$ lookin but what i want to know is why did they choose to do it to the 4-door and not the 2-door. Personally i like the 2-door ALOT better then the 4-door....plus the 2-door is slightly quicker then the 4-door counterpart (stock for stock)

Either way, i know it will sell...and sell quick.

Wow this thing will sell very well with all the die hard honda fans out there--

its not bad looking, and I do tend to like 4 doors over 2- my integra has 4 doors and I want to put the JDM Mugen front end on it-- so I'm biased on this on hehe I actaully kind of like it.
