Default Mugen RR > Mugen SI

Don't know if we'll get it here in the U.S. but we might. Suppose to cost 40k or so.

http://www.autoblog.com/2007/0...n-rr/
It's rated at 240 horses at 8,000 rpm and 160 lb-ft at 7,000 rpm.

That thing was in honda tuning...

NO WE WON'T GET ONE!

They only made a couple hundred of them and they sold out in 10 MINUTES!


Don't count on it... Sucks, but still....

People at dealers will tell you anything you wanna hear...


Unless you live in Japan you aren't getting one. And since they sold out within 10 minutes you REALLY aren't getting one. I think they were equivalent to 40K US money.

I wonder tho.. if they actually sold the RR in U.S.A would they actually sell out just like they would in japan. Personaly i don't think they would.

OP: OsNApArAvEr
no they made about 300.

you are SADLY Mistaken!
something that KILLER would sell out within 9 minutes in the US...

Not ONLY are there millions of "i can afford it!" middle-aged "Civic Type-R Wannabe's" (who would probably risk bankruptcy just to have it)

but there is also the hardcore "HONDA" guys that HAVE money, that could sit back and just use it as a "SHOW-CAR" or Daily Driver!

-then you add in the salemen who have "Guys" that are waiting for these types of RARITIES-
"Hey Bob, we have 1 MUGEN RR coming in next week, only 300 mode! -if you haven't seen it, come down tonight! I'll show you the details and we'll set you up with one!"

again, They WOULD sell out Faster than you could type a responce!

do you guys think that there are going to be anymore coupe models in the US? or are all the Mugen cars gonna stay sedan?

Either way this new RR looks good.

Thing looks nasty. You guys really had the nerve to ask if we would get one over here. LoL? Even if we did, it's not going to be 240horses.

No, what they have is 17 year olds drooling over a car that won't ever come stateside.

If you want proof just look at the fact there
- hasn't been another "R" since the ITR
- has been a Civic Type R here in the USA and most likely never will be
- no Accord Type R
- etc
