Default Its Offical... We get the shaft again

Sure, we're getting the Mugen Si Sedan but yet again Japan has to put us in our place and keep the goods in the home land. Follow the jump to the video but have a towel ready.

"...the Mugen RR sheds an additional 10kg (22 lbs) off the standard Civic Type R's weight, coming in at 2733 lbs. In addition to the weight loss, the freer-breathing Mugen RR picks up 15 horsepower over the regular Type R. It's rated at 240 horses at 8,000 rpm and 160 lb-ft at 7,000 rpm. "

So what... We kinda deserve it for turning two major cities into dust back in the day. Live with what you have, unless you can afford to import :D

i'm not crazy about it

however the Civic Type RR (race ready) hatch that they showed off in europe with the k series pushing 280hp


THAT is something i'll be upset over.

Shaving off 20hp adding vents to the bonnet & upping 20hp cant be easily upgraded on a Vehicle.

Yet another waste of the Mugen name... who cares about 15 hp and 22 pounds? Way too much money for WAY WAY WAY too little. When did Mugen become all about looks?

in regards to the price... you all know that everything is more expensive in japan right???? I'm sure this car here would be just like the Mugen 4dr Si.

Big deal, when Kpro comes out you will be able to get 240whp out of this motor fairly easily

I think I just pooped a little when I saw that. I really like it, especially since there are only 300 of them...this is one civic that will appreciate as time goes by.
