Funny... A power UPGRADE for the Lotus Elise overseas is the b18c Integra Type R motor. Consequently, all Elises distributed in the U.S. by Sun International come equipped with this same motor... making the American version of the car actually MORE powerful than the original.





I don't understand why you're all arging that these imports are tenths of seconds behind the big-blocks... but you never bring up that they're using less than half the displacement.

An Integra Type R with intake, header and exhaust will run around a 14.1 in the hands of a good driver. I've watched them run 14.5's all day long with only a CAI.

I like Mustangs and F-bodies. My next car will be a C5 coupe with a 6-liter block swap (from the Sierra), bored and stroked to 427ci, cammed and spraying around a 200 shot. Word to your moms.
