Well then sell the Honda and buy a Chevy with a v8. Fast Honda’s are expensive but they practically give away Chevy speed parts.

Something like a G body Monte Carlo, 3rd gen Camaro, etc. Even your car is cheaper to mod than mine or a Honda.

New Chevy shit is just as much, if not more than Ford shit.

Nothing is “cheap” if done right…
