I thought it was about racing.

It's happened before in F1. Near the end of the first turbo era (mid-'80s) fuel allotments were restricted in order to equalize speeds between turbo and normally-aspirated cars. Granted, this isn't really a straight comparison to what they're doing for 2014.

This is ridiculous. What race series prevents you from refueling and doesn't let you have as much fuel as you'd need to run the race as fast as you can? If they want to make them slower, limit the boost or something. This isn't a damned Prius series.

At most of the races we anticipate will be fuel capacity limited, so we will have to save fuel during the race. That will mean a different driving style, where you are compromising lap time at certain points to save fuel. The question then is how you use your remaining fuel? Do you go out quick at the start and then…

Because every car that was powered by one of the K20 engines I listed was purchased by someone who had absolutely no intention of driving it gently, ever. If you buy a used K20 RSX or Civic Si, and the seller doesn't readily admit that he/she swung the tach needle to 8000 RPM at every available opportunity, that…

I agree completely; the Honda K-series may be remembered as the best 4-cylinder engine from the company that makes the best 4-cylinder engines. However, though every variant is good in its own way, I think the A1 and its high-RPM successors were the ones that really out-shined them all. I mean, it powered the Ariel…

My 2008 Honduh Civic Si is pretty much functioning as new as it crests 100,000 war-torn miles. I beat the living tar out of it on a daily basis and have since the day I drove it out of the dealer showroom (literally, it was the one they parked inside). I'm no fan-boi, but every day I drive proof that Honduh doesn't…

Gearing gearing gearing gearing gearing... makes high revving engines OK

200(ish) HP, 8000+ RPM redline, and smooth up and down the rev range. The lack of low-end torque is more than made up for by the way it begs to be redlined, and loves every minute of it. Easy to make more power with simple bolt-ons and reprogramming, with Honda reliability to boot.

This engine is in everything from the GTI, A3 to the boring Audi Q5, and Tiguan to the iconic Golf R and it can be tuned to insanely high horsepower and return 30mpg in the right hands.

Extend this to the whole K-Series. Millions of these engines are purring down the highways with minimal problems, From the 2002 CR-V to today's Civic Si, CRV and Accord.

you haven't sold me. Still like sixes the best.

3 cylinders: not enough for cars, plenty for snowmobiles

Good I don't think I want her operating a car within 2500 miles of me anytime soon.

This gets my vote. I own a 2006 Acura RSX-S with the K20Z1 variant. Who gives a shit about torque; an 8,000 RPM redline with a 4.76:1 final drive behind it makes up for the lack of torque.

Just proves how out of touch she is.

Just proves how out of touch she is.

Wonder if she knows how much it costs to fill a gas tank? Not that it matters to the 1 percenters.

Beat me to it. Agreed and supported with money
