Are you guys talking about the weight of the motor? The motor weighs 290lbs. I just looked up the weight for a 2zzge(used in Elise for instance) just for comparison sake and it weighs around 250lbs.
fuckin hot, but you are probably right, not likely to ever see on the street
Actually now that I think about it, it's probably only being produced to meet homologation requirements by the ACO for the American LeMans series (race cars in certain classes have to be based on a production engine and chassis.)
Im not impressed. Twice the displacement as the typical Honda motor. Twice the cylinders as typical Honda motor. And yet, Honda still can't manage to get torque. 4.0L motor with 590hp, but yet they still only manage to get 383lbs/ft. Weak.
