Honda Inisight on the 1/4 mile? Only place I seen that happen: NOPI Drags. Don't know which Nationals it was, but it was on Speed Channel once. I guess as a bit of a "Did You Know," here goes. Did you know that with a drag racing Honda/Acura NSX here in America, the drivetrain was converted from MR to FR to perform better on the drag strip?
Usually, people like to associate Hondas with "all show, no go," or tuner-car happy machines, or anything like that. Part of my logic with this issue is about reading between the lines for me. What Honda may lack in brute power and aggression, they make up for with practicality. To me, Hondas are about practicality. And I actually admire Honda for their smart thinking and even their commitment to excellence outside of cars. Don't like their cars? Try their motorcycles (what they're sort of better known for), lawn mowers, generators, outboard motors, ATVs, personal watercraft, scooters, or even their cute (but helpful, as Honda wants to believe) robot ASIMO. And basically, I see Hondas for practicality in much the same way I think about hybrid cars. Horsepower doesn't really matter to me. You want a car that has hybrid energy but makes sweet amounts of horsepower, I made a forum topic about it. Ever hear of the Toyota Alessandro Volta Concept Car? Check out my topic on it at:

And if you love performance, the Alessandro Volta can do 0-60 in 4 seconds to a reasonable top speed of 155 mph/250 kph. The engine is a 3.3 Liter V6 with electric motors on each axle. But regardless, I look at hybrids with their practicality, not so much looks or horsepower.
