I would never K my R as I feel it is too special a car but I almost pulled the trigger with my crx a few years ago. In the end I ended up staying B because I live with the reality of family man first, car nut second. Who doesn't appreciate more power but I couldn't justify spending all that money when I feel a B is a perfectly competent engine (C1 is still my favourite all around B). You have to decide what your end goal is and is it worth it for you. For me, a 1500km a year summer Sunday ride wasn't but maybe if it was a daily...... :P

If you talking drag, all the top "All Motor" guys are running K series.

K is a great option for daily driving if you don't mind the cost.

Yes but this is obvious because of displacement differences. K is not King in all scenarios is my point.

I said fastest.

The original poster will meet there needs staying b series and do it while saving a crap load of cash to save for there kids college fund ya dig lmao.. seriously I was just trying to point out that people say K series is King but all of the world's fastest front-wheel drive Hondas are B series.
