But at the same time a little familiar.

Never heard of one of these until tonight but have a look and and a listen.

YouTube - Acura Vigor exhaust sound

there was a thread on here a couple of years back with alternative 5 pot cars and there were half a dozen or so from Japan which surprised me at the time.
Never heard one in real life as it were and it does sound pretty tasty despite being a ricer!!

Weelll....

I love the wildlife camera man technique through the grass, even get's bitten and runs off...

pretty painful otherwise....

Interesting engine bay though, is it a 20v crossflow?

I very nearly bought a vigor at turners auction in chch when i was living there back in 06/07,purely for the fact it was 5 pot.Gearbox wasn't great on it though,think it sold for about £150
