More Power for Your Car

For the next few blogs I'd like to discuss some products that can help increase horsepower in your car.

There are various kinds of car owners. Most purchase and drive cars in order to get from point A to point B. A car is a tool and no more enjoyable than any other tool or machine that they might use.

However, for a much smaller group of people a car is more than a means of transportation. I can't put it into words, but its more like an idea or ideal. Yes its made up of steel and other materials like other machines, but some almost seem to have a heart. They give you something extra. They help fill your life. It may be a passion or just a keen interest, but it's something that you spend time thinking about or doing something about or doing something with.

As I read the above, it sounds a little lame. But from my standpoint collecting stamps is something I don't understand, so I don't expect non car people to understand my interest in cars.

Anyway, one thing I have noticed about people who enjoy cars is that almost all of them would like some more power. It doesn't seem to make any difference in how powerful the stock vehicle is. We just want more.

So I'll be blogging about how to get some of this power with after market parts.

Death of Honda Sports Cars?

We all know that every car company is cutting back on expensive new model development, while they wait for the economy to turn around. It's just too risky to invest in going in a variety of directions at the same time. So it was no big surprise that Honda announced the demise of some planned vehicles.

I love sport cars. I have had a variety of them over the years including, Porsche 356B, Ferrari 308 GTB, Maserati Merak SS, Toyota MR2, Mazda RX7, Peerless, Triumph, MG TD, Jaguar XJS and I'm sure some others I can't remember at the moment (Senior Moment). So I'm a little sad to report that Honda has decided not to follow up on the S2000 sports car.

Tough times already had killed the planned 2010 Acura NSX, which would have had a front-mounted V-10. Now Honda also has decided to shelve a rear-drive V-8 Acura that was meant to take on BMW in 2015, according to Autocar. The V-8 -- long a thorny issue, given Honda's green image -- was seen as the wrong powerplant because of the uncertain future of fuel prices.

So is the sorts car dead? I don't think so. The Barrett-Jackson auction that is taking place right now is still bringing in good prices for classic sports cars. I saw a Jaguar XKE go for $97,000 yesterday.

It just looks like new ones will not be coming out very soon.
