"Has the power and cornering ability to be an extremely quick car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing has gone wrong for the car, although finding OEM parts for the car is a bit hard.

General comments?

I've found that the Honda Del Sol is an awesome car.

Gas mileage is great and that's good because once you start driving, you won't want to get out.

Throttle response is quick and the handling is very predictable.

With the SOHC vtec engine and the very light weight, this car has great mid range power. At wide open throttle, you'll feel a surge at about 4000 rpm and it will rocket you all the way to the 7200 rpm red line.

I'd just like to add on to the engine part of the del Sol. Having the D16Z6 engine code, it's 125 HP @ 6600 RPM. Personally, having the '94 Si model, the valve timing (VTEC) kicks-in about 4600 RPMs. On highways, a swift downshift to 3rd gear knocks the RPMs right on the VTEC, ~4700 RPMs. Perfect for all you racers out there ;)...

Not to be difficult with the two before me, but the vtec actually kicks on at 4900 rpms. I installed an indicator light in my delsol to indicate when the vtec solenoid kicks on and it is consistently at 4900 every single time.
