      Most Hondas DO sound like shit, because their owners keep fucking up the exhaust to make it sound like a wet fart. The cars are fine, it's the children that destroy them that are the problem.

      Yea the drivers in those porsches were very bad, but it was not just skill, a supercharged k20 lotus (which would weigh around 1700-2200lbs on good tires is in a whole other league than the porsche landbarge.
      Keep in mind that the lotus was designed ground up to be a british sports car (race chassis design, aerospace stuff, not designed for luxury or comfort). The porsches are designed from the ground up for dentists and lawyers to be comfortable, the gt2 and gt3s have moderately modified control arms (still mostly rubber) and slightly better dampers.

      @frank white I was first to run the Blackwatch supercharger kit on my car. Terrible tunes and being a guinea pig for tunes came with that commitment, As did 2 separate superchargers and eventually a 350HP kit from BOE fabrication. These are glass motors compared to Honda. Anyone with half a brain knows that especially anyone who has run big power through one. Also a baffled oil pan does not guarantee you won't have oil starvation but thanks for playing.

    Outstanding! What an incredibly well designed marriage of two of the finest things on the road, a light Lotus chassis and a supercharged K20. It's like the Reeses Peanut Butter Cup of track cars. In this application, I'm glad to see the didn't go turbo. Although they'll make more boost, the bigger the turbo the greater the lag. Supercharger delivers power so much more linear and controllable. Don't get me wrong, I have a turbo 4 cylinder track car and LOVE it, but for a tight track, it can be a handful trying to keep it in boost without breaking traction.
