It's ambiguous, no? "Wake up, Schumi" or "Wake Schumi up"? The first could be an honest sentiment. The second would be belaboring the obvious. Jmo.

I'll take a CBR 600cc though. Love Honda bikes! First bike was a Honda trail bike when I was 16. They used to have a pretty mean sports range years ago.

I was thinking the same thing, lq9s should be easier to find for me in truck country as well, its funny in the states everyone says buy a wreck f body for the swap, in canada f-bodys are impossible to find at wreckers and good shape ls f-bodys go for damn near as much as a 2012 v6 camarogo with the LQ9. you'll definitely be able to find that cheaper and its nice to have that strong ass block. i built a 1800 hp 408 out of one and put it in a stock 6 speed C5 vette

I think you have a different understanding of the word good than most...ya honda powersport stuff is good but their cars aint good for nothing but good gas milage

what i have a understanding of is hondas being as i worked for them for 3 years, and have many friends with their cars whether it be a daily drive for good gas milage or performance reasons. i also have a pretty extensive knowledge of the the performance field in general as ive build everything from a saturn with a intake and exhaust to a 1800 hp C5 corvette. so as i said before if your looking for a good reliable car that gets good gas milage honda may be the way to go. but for performance.... most should stay away from honda. sure if you want to sink your life savings into one making it fast go for it but there are many many other cars worth putting that money into that will give you much better results. and ive proved it to the honda fanboys many times

You don't make any sense lol.
Do you really hate Honda, or do you just hate when people dump loads of money and effort into trying to turn an economy car into a race car?

This statement couldn't be further from the truth. Now if your life savings are 5 grand then you have a point. Hondas are cheap to build and you can get some great numbers if your well versed in building cars. The f22 motor can handle 700hp on stock block with springs and retainers. Now they did have mediocre torque numbers but the k motor can say otherwise. I built imports for a living, Hondas can be just as potent as the next, given the right platform and what your looking for. Anyone can slap turbos on a c5 but then again if you are turboing a c5 you pry don't have to be worrying about savings.what i have a understanding of is hondas being as i worked for them for 3 years, and have many friends with their cars whether it be a daily drive for good gas milage or performance reasons. i also have a pretty extensive knowledge of the the performance field in general as ive build everything from a saturn with a intake and exhaust to a 1800 hp C5 corvette. so as i said before if your looking for a good reliable car that gets good gas milage honda may be the way to go. but for performance.... most should stay away from honda. sure if you want to sink your life savings into one making it fast go for it but there are many many other cars worth putting that money into that will give you much better results. and ive proved it to the honda fanboys many times

Well anyone with a brain would argue that any performance related car will cost a decent amount more. What your failing to realize is that Hondas can be built fast for very little cash flow. Do you auto x, drag race or road race? Even if I buy a used sti or evo or corvette the amount I pay to modify that car to a respectable power number is around 7-10 grand and that's if I do the labor myself. FFs I could build a Honda for 10 grand including the price of the car and still have a car to compete with my used "performance car" that I'm already 30k into including the price of the car. I've built them all man and Hondas are the some of the best bang for the buck. I have a feeling you hate the honda fan boys that think their ricer is fast and most of the time you're pry spot on but give credit where credit is due.
