What does everybody think of Honda's new FP packages?

I just wanted to say, that i think its great that honda has FINALLY decided to offer something in the way of aftermarket parts for their vehicles. I also think Honda still has a long way to go, and should start making aftermarket bolt-on's like exhausts, headers, and intakes, but the FP (factory performance) option is a good start.

What do you think?

Really? I had no idea that they were making a 300hp beast. I'll have to look into that.

they aren't making 300hp stock. They are making only 240 stock. and thats in the v6 auto only.


As for the parts, i think its only alright that honda gets into this. I wish they would play down this ricer shit cause I'm really starting to get sick of racing every loser with an exhaust.

i'll clarify... the car felt like a wind up toy under 7000rpms. it handled decent, but not what i expected. it was a pain to drive and i didnt like the clutch. it was alot of fun to drive, but ive had more fun driving my car.
