Yup, they're mocking. But it's just a long running joke regarding Honda's/Acura's. No need to take it so seriously...

And at the pics. There are actually a few new ones (to me) in there

This is the best that I could do with Photoshop to enhance it.

Make sure you top off your VTEC fluid at every oil change. Just 1 quart is recommended. I buy the big bottle. It makes the VTEC kick so much harder.

At this level of drag racing, most of these cars are not production vehicles. Most are tube frames (pipes). The body panels are about the only thing remaining that is still original. Frame, engine, trans, drive train are all replaced with American muscle pieces.

what level are you talking about? Tube frames dont' really come into affect until 7 seconds or so...that S2K just simply has an LS1 in it

Do you honestly think that the original body can withstand those forces without a tube frame being installed. By the way, this is a rhetorical question.

Yup, you're right. I just got home and did some quick research... that car in the demotivational poster is NOT the LS1 S2000 that was there. That was the F20 from April 2009. This past April (2010) there was a similar looking S2000 with an LS1 in it...

My bad
