Dunlop 5ZIGEN CR-Z (with exhaust sound)

[faded2blak]

sounds like my lawnmower

[carlbarino]

wow, the front view of this car looks just like a le mans quattro. :D

[AntowQa]

the worst sound i ever heared

[bersjonssen]

its a joke ? put a k20 on this fuckin hybrid car

[popperman321]

whens this car comin to cali?

[popperman321]

@popperman321 ur dumb

[dougie504]

Given that this is supposed to be based on the Gen2 CRX I think the power output is a letdown. The non-VTEC Gen2 CRX made 96kw and the VTEC models made 117.9kw.

And although I still like the car for it's shape and potential I think that exhaust sounds like somebody coughing in church, trying not to be too loud so as to disturb the person in front of them :(

[SlipshT]

damm that sounds better than a golf gti maybe is faster too :D

[turbillb]

Enthusiat cars dont sell anymore. Fans like myself read and watch enthusiast media and it feels like there are lots of interested people building cool cars but reality says fun cars now represent less then 1% of new car sales.

[ComedyPoet]

whats the mph on this 1 ?

[SUTORAIKUanime]

I'm quite a fan of the CR-Z, it's awesome

[sleepyf1]

I was a Honda person for nearly 10 years. Moving from the integra, to prelude to an S2000. However Honda shows little interest in making enthusiast cars these days, especially for people a little more grown up and looking for more than a hot hatch. I've moved on to Alfa Romeo who make brillian V6 engines. I still have a soft spot for Hondas but until they make something with a bit of pace my money and loyalty will stay away.

[1PARADOXXX]

@sleepyf1 Is MultiAir better than i-VETC?

[alexlam24]

@1PARADOXXX No.

[sleepyf1]

@1PARADOXXX

Not in relative terms such as HP/torque/Litre or fuel economy, but compared to a K24 offerring but it produces more torque and HP in absolute terms which matters more when driving. Also, Italians make some of the best sounding engines across the entire rev range, not just after the big cams kick in. Its also very nice having torque on tap before 5000rpm but still have a free revving engine.

If Honda introduced a V6 coupe in Australia, I'd be very happy to car shopping again.

[Hellyuki]

@sleepyf1 In Canada we have the Honda Accord V6 Coupe but saddly, its a front wheel drive...... for 46 000$ ! ....oh and yeah Honda dont sell lot of them ..... it's an obvious fail of course ...260hp on a FWD pffffff !

[2jzgtejza80]

@Hellyuki

Well balanced 260bhp FWD car outhandle mostly 300-400 RWD cars.

Source: Renault Megane RS Thropy ,

Nurburgring time better than BMW M3, Corvette C6, and Audi RS3...

Honda Accord V6 is worst Accord ever made in terms of handling and power. Europeans rather stick with type S and 200 bhp 4-banger (much better).

[2jzgtejza80]

@Hellyuki

For 46,000 $ I would rather go with 2000 NSX and put it SC or TC on it.

[CaptainOmar]

@sleepyf1

No one is really making beefy sport cars nowadays. I believe Honda would be the best company to introduce one to the world. For now, I'll stick to my 98 V6 Accord Coupe O.o

[musikerongpinoy]

i hear a k2.4 + 6spd LSD trans in this thing!

[shinkane]

why the hell couldnt they just put a k20 with a electric motor in?!

still revs over 8k, but if you drive it like a slug, its economic.

jeeeeezzzzzz

[GOMBPRODUXIONS]

@shinkane I totally agree dude, it's not like the CR-Z now gets amazing mpg anyways. I'm the weight of the car would help it too, but it definitely needs a K20 fast! Thats for sure

[alexlam24]

@GOMBPRODUXIONS GET A DAMN CIVIC SI OR CIVIC TYPE R THEN. iF THEY PUT A k20 IN THE SI AND TYPE R WOULD GO OUT OF BUSINESS!!

[GOMBPRODUXIONS]

@alexlam24 No thanks, I got an s2000 and what are you trolling for? "iF THEY PUT A k20 IN THE SI AND TYPE R WOULD GO OUT OF BUSINESS!!" You don't make any sense, they both have k20's (even if they're both a little different from each other) numbnuts

[alexlam24]

@shinkane if you did that people wouldnt buy the civic si or civic type r

[musicmanvin1]

@shinkane cuz the k20 can't pass new emission regulations!

[Jimster481]

K series?

[HondaRaycer]

I am chomping at the bit to get a Honda CRZ but compared to the cars you hear in the background the CRZ sounds weak.

Of course if I was in the market for another performance vehicle I wouldn't be interested in a hybrid in the first place.

[AllBoutTheTech]

LMAO the guys face at 0:32

[russiaviation]

To me,the reason behind the 6500 rpm redline is in the name of "GAS SAVING"! It is reasonable enough for most of the driver! The combo gas+electric engine are a superb GENIUS from HONDA, and the CRZ is a very SPECIAL Honda no matter what people' opinion are? I personal love this CRZ and Honda'point of view behind the creation of this car! if you love to rev, there will be $8000 USD 1.5 engine upgrade parts from SPOONSPORT! For me, a combo of 18 inches wheels + lower suspension are the way to go!

[NSX86R]

@russiaviation Yah and don't forget to put it on a jenny craig plan, cause it need to lose some weight.

[russiaviation]

@NSX86R Yes, indeed, she is just ONLY around.....2500 pounds if I am not remembering incorrectly. But I am the type of guy who love women with a little of meat....!!! :-) in the right place , of course! take care, mate!

[NSX86R]

@russiaviation More like.....2800ish, but hey if you like her that way then by all means go for her.

[abunaiN1]

@russiaviation for Gods sake this econo thing saves 1,5-2liters less gas than a 1,4 sirrocco and it's slow as hell !!

in Honda they must get serious and make cars like old school ek9's and dc2's before it's too late for them.

i'm a Honda guy too but i can see only that Honda dosen't make a real sport car anymore ;-( they even stoped fd2 !!!

[russiaviation]

@abunaiN1 u half right, mate! rumors are flying about the new S3000 is in the work,and saddly I am not holding my breath for it. Eventhough I think Honda is so capabable of building such an awesome hard top convertible S3000 to compete direct with the new Z4 or upcoming SLK. I just hope that Honda will hear all the fan's crying and hurry up to offer the Si or even the type R for the CRZ! meanwhile I am dreaming of the S3000 too! a direct fuel injection V-6, a God sent 6 speed stick? chaos

[rockmanx809]

@abunaiN1 why does Every one forget where Honda's heart is The 1st Gen CRX! if it was not for the 83-87 Crx honda would be in the dumps! the CRZ is a Disgrace to what it was It get WORSE mpg then a Prius which is Heavier by 500lbs and is Slower then My HF EVER was! Hatchs and Teggys were awesome But The real Heart was From the CRX (Civic Renaissance model X )

[NotPalatial]

@rockmanx809 stop bitching faggot, you have to adapt to survive.

[rockmanx809]

@NotPalatial That the Best you can come Up with Buddy? Everyone has Their own Preference on what is Better and whats Not. The 1st Gen Crx is By Far the Best Honda Had to Offer!

[hobotechMASTER]

@rockmanx809 best for what? honestly all it had going for it was its weight and its ok suspension. people that drag thsoe things are crazy. i havent seen one in any type of road race event in over 10 years

[rockmanx809]

@hobotechMASTER Best for Economy, wt/power, reliability. The Crz is a Fat pig with worse MPG then the prius.

[ComradeWhite]

@hobotechMASTER Not necessarily. CRX's are one of the most stolen cars because parts for them are in such high demand due to their recent role reprisal as a contender in racing. They can be bought for cheap and get killer mpg. Problem is they often call for complete or very heavy restores. With parts being mostly scavenged already, yeah, it's easier to swap engines with something newer and more trendy. Not seeing CRX's win? Watch more events.

[Mnight069]

if i got a CR-Z, i would rip out the stupid electric motor and the lawn mower engine they put in it for back up use, and drop in a K20 or B16. F*ck this hybrid garbage. 

[NSX86R]

@Mnight069 Drop in a K24 for me please. :)

[sausagenmuff]

@Mnight069

what an idiotic comment. the whole point is you buy the car you want.

If i had your Si with a K20, I'd rip out that gas guzzeling garbage and put in a crz1.5L

see how that works? every car has it's potential driver and niche, if you want power get a TSX with a 2.4L Vtec or a s2000. dont' say you'd buy this car and rip out it's "garbage" engine

[Yazoku]

Stupid low RPM rev limiter

[KilluaXIII]

FIT AN F20C WITH IMA YOU LAZY BASTARDS

[bassicuk1986]

@KilluaXIII lol that is funny

[mentalmetal1]

@KilluaXIII like your dumbass actually knows better.

[jezuse]

somebody somewhere should be working on k engine mounts

[ABUNAI888]

it's a sport car where is the eco point ??

[JBlade007]

the rims are tight

[ABUNAI888]

i can beat this ''racing car'' with my stock civic vti sedan with 4 passengers and fully loaded with steel trunk !!!!

Honda where is the 100ps / liter ??

[KPKonliner]

@ABUNAI888 dumbass poor low class street racers like u only care about racing,we buy sportscars not for racing,but for excitement !

[ABUNAI888]

@KPKonliner honestly TELL ME WHERE is the excitement in a car that has 122hp the 13hp from an electric engine and weights 1270+kg ?

just look the suzuka test run they made with the crz ....like a snail SLOW !

nuclear stations,airplanes,ships and factorys polute the enviroment MORE than a car all this eco shit thing is just for marketing.

how you know what i am ?

i DO trackdays 2 per year average.

[KPKonliner]

@ABUNAI888 dats da point,i dont like this car , i mean if u're an eco guy or wanna save fuel go for prius , if u want excitement go for scirocco

[ABUNAI888]

@KPKonliner here it is why buy a scirocco yoko chocco and dont buy the new crz type R with the new super vtec 1800cc engine that produses 230hp and weights 1000kg? all that in a package that has great handeling characteristics !!

WHY honda WHY ?!!??
