Sadly, it seems like there's a never ending streak of bad news coming out of the auto industry these days. The latest is the word that Honda is scrapping the new NSX, a car which has been in development for some time now. I suppose it's not too surprising considering Honda is pulling out of Formula 1 and announcing cuts elsewhere. Building high dollar, low production sports cars just doesn't make sense given the current state of the auto world. It's sad because the new 500+ hp NSX was shaping up to be a true supercar, just like the original was when it came out in the early '90s. There is still a chance the project will be revived when things get better for Honda which will hopefully be sooner rather than later....

Being in Japan has given me the opportunity to see a lot of record-breaking tuner cars like the HRS Cyber Evo and Top Fuel S2000, but there is always something great about seeing a non-Japanese company do amazing things with a Japanese car. This NSX was built by Love Fab Motorsports in Buckley, Michigan, a company with many years of experience in custom turbo kits for all sorts of cars.

I'd say there is little reason to doubt Love Fab's claim that this is the most powerful NSX in the world. ...

The fifth round of the 2008 American Le Mans Series took place at Lime Rock last weekend. The circuit has a long history, dating back to the 50's, but this year the track had been resurfaced and re-profiled. It wasn't popular with the drivers as it's quite a narrow track so, as expected, there would be collisions during the event! First of those was during qualifying, when the freshly rebuilt Bell Motorsport Aston Martin DBR9 which was hit by the Acura of Franck Montagny. According to...

Knowing Honda, it's not a surprise that they aren't content to sit and watch Nissan and Lexus own the Japanese supercar game. As these recent spy shots show, Honda is working full steam ahead on the next generation NSX. Although heavily obscured, you can still make out the overall body shape of the new car which will aim right for the Nissan GT-R and the Lexus LF-A......

The Honda Fit is the best selling car in Japan by a long shot. Even I drive one! Despite the fact that our Fit is painted a somewhat less common color, there have still been times when I've had trouble figuring out exactly which Fit was ours in a crowded parking lot. The Fit also has a strong following among tuners in Japan, although most of them are pretty mild as far as modifications go. Then on the other hand, you have the J's Racing Fit GT seen here. Mild is the last word I would use...
