Stock 305hp aluminum V6 in a car with emissions. Not sure on weight, but bet it will be comprable to the honda's. Might be afew yrs till they become readily available.

What's wrong with the 3.5 Nissan?

They go nice enough if you stick a decent exhaust and intake on 'em:

My Honda motor was built in America 8) :wink:

The 3.0-liter, 200-horsepower, 24-valve V-6 is the first V-6 engine to use VTEC (Honda Variable valve Timing and valve Lift Electronic Control system), Honda's variable valve timing system. VTEC helps give the V-6 a broader, more powerful torque curve. All engines and transmissions are built at Honda facilities in Ohio.

Those engines would all work well if you filled your front tires with concrete. :mrgreen:

Way to much power to be behind the rear tires. :shock:
