i dunno what the point of even bringing F1(or cup car) engines into this discussion is, we are talking about 2 4 cylinder 16v economy car(albeit quick ones) engines, nascar still uses v8's based on the gen1 small block, and formula one engines dont even have camshafts anymore.. i guess i could ask, if the honda engine is so perfect, why does ariel need to add a supercharger to it?

It's true the Honda engine shares no common parts with the F1 racer, but a 747 shares no parts with an F-22 Raptor, but the technology certainly passes on. If the EEK o Tech is so good why didn't Ariel use them to start with? Why does Caterham use Toyota engines and not GM parts? As far as the Cobalt SS being faster than the Civic Type R, I'm sure Honda would gladly put their F1 car up against any Chevy stock car in a race of acceleration, cornering or braking and even GASP! top speed.

ps. you may wanna check out the ring times for the cobalt ss and the civic type R, civic lookin a tad slow for a F1 car.... ROFL.

how many parts in common does a f1 car and a civic have?

"American ingenuity with some British flair" It was designed by a Brit in Britain? This fat guy just sells them. Americans really do talk ALOT of bullshit. The Ariel Atom, now available in the US, for when you want fast food really fast.

At least the Honda has some true racing DNA in its blood from Formula 1. Chevrolet has no Formula 1 DNA because they can not complete at that level of motorsport (the pinnacle) or they would be in the starting line up at Sundays race in Valencia. As it is I'm sure they are content to race NASCAR and go fast and turn left.

um,the original engine available in britain is out of a civic isnt it? something out of an econobox eh?

Putting a Chevy motor in that car is like putting a pig in a dress. Good looking but underneath its still just a pig! At least the Honda has some F1 DNA while the Chevy is something out of an econobox car. Would this putz put a Chevy crate 350 into a Ferrari F-430?
