AC-R, where did u go?

[Nemo619]

What ever happened to the AC-R? I liked that car. I didn't care for the paint to much, but it was one sweet 6thgen coupe.

Not to argue with your opinion, but there is nothing ricey about a car that was built by the man that is said to be behind the 6thgen coupe and the CL. It was built by Honda R&D in Ohio. It has a glass roof, and the only honda I knew that had one is a JDM CRX. It has the shift tronic shifter found in the TL and CL and included shift buttons on a MOMO steering wheel. I'm not crazy about the push botton shifters, or the **** tronic shifter, but I know it didn't have the same dismal V6 auto that was produced for the AV6s that hit the road.

performance-wise, it's alright.... but looks wise, it's pure rice

The paint job and headlights= Rice. But for it to come from Honda R&D Ohio built the way it is, that's not rice. That's enginuity.

anyone have the actual engine specs? how are they putting down 300hp with a n/a j30?

 

[DarkSideAccord]

prob high compression pistons, CLS cams bolt-ons and some sort of tuning

 

[shavedaccord]

talk about overkill on the brakes.

And it also has an ugly spolier, a lame paint job, a purple interior.
