Hmm...360hp out of a 4 cyl N/A motor? C'mon. The STi is 300hp, but turbo'd. Definately a hoax.

nismodrift, you obviously didn't read the article or even the first post. It was a claimed I6 not 4. Stay in school.

Not a bad hoax, a few more pictures would've made it more believable. But then again, when I think about it, if it doesn't come out in Motortrends or Automobile magazine first, then it's not worth mentioning.

I believe the website itself is fake, just look at it! http://www.mcclatchie.com

I'm with NiSilS14 on this one, I'll believe it when I see it.

This is an untrue article. If you go to the s2000 board, one guy tried to get his idea to Honda, so he started circulating what he would like to have produced. If it were to ever happen, watch out.

Not too unbelieveable. getting 60hp in each cylinder isnt outrageous. Id definately be interested if it came out tho.

UMM, ITS NOT A HOAX.IT'S A 3.6L I6. HONDA IS KNOW FOR 100HP PER LITER.EXAMPLE: 1.8L VTECH SI CIVIC = 180HP 2.2L PRELUDE SI = 220HPTHIS IS HONDAS ACTUAL NEW ROADSTER. AND YES ITS NA. I AM IN NO WAY A HONDA FAN BUT THEY HAVE THE ENGINEERS WHO KNOW HOW TO PUT OUT THIS KIND OF POWER. THE V8 JSPEC NSX IS A 6L WITH 600 NA HP. SO WHY IS THIS NOT POSSIBLE, YOU PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HONDAS YOU JUST KNOCK THEM. WHEN HONDA FINALLY STARTS RELEASING THEIR REAL CARS YOU'LL SEE WHAT A PROBLEM THEY WILL BE, IT GOING TO GET HARDER TO CATCH THEM. NISSAN, TOYOTA, SUBARU, AND MITSUBISHI ALL HAVE IMPRESIVE CARS IN JAPAN ALSO. WHEN THE OTHER MANUFATURERS RELEASE THEIR DEMONS THE AMERICAN MUSCLE WILL HAVE NO WAY TO RETAILIATE. OHH AND THE SUBARU GETS 300HP ON A 2.2L TURBO ENGINE SO ESSENTIALLY THEY GET 220 HP NA AND 80 TURBO HP. 360 NA HP IS WAY ACHIEVABLE.

THE S2000 DOESN'T MEAN ITS A 2000CC ENGINE, THE 2000 STANDS FOR ITS OPENING YEAR. AND WHEN IT COMES TO HONDAS THE R MEANS RACE INSPIRED. SO ITS JUST THE RACE-INSPIRED S2000. PLEASE PEOPLE READ UP ON THINGS BEFORE YOU KNOCK IT.

^We never said it wasnt achieveable. Its a hoax. Evidently someone decided to pull a prank. If you read the thread you would realize that. The 2004 cars are coming out. If it were to come out 2003 wed have it. That is not a real car site. Go to the hompage http://www.mcclatchie.com/ and see how reliable this auto review is.And I think 12.8 1/4 mile is a lil high for a 2500lb 360hp machine. Id say low 12s.

my personal opinion is that it is a hoax, but there is always posibility, production on cars can be delayed just like every thing else (like the greddy turbo kit :rolleyes )
