ok mopar....formula cars don't count then? honda builds motors, any type/size/orientation. they definitely know how to build strong reliable engines, especially when you look some of their displacement to HP ratios. however, i highly doubt honda will plug a v8 into the nsx and it will never, ever come to the US under a Honda badge. the NSX will be an acura on this side of the water until the earth ceases to exist....sucks.....but thats how she beez. c ya!
