It's a Honda so it should be very fuel efficiant just like their cars and my lawn mower (Uses 1/2 as much gas as my old one).

guess top gear can no longer make fun of honda as being the old people's car...

unless the jet is for old people?

Slap an R-Type sticker on there, some flames, and maybe a fin or two, that baby will FLY.

Put some stickers for various automotive products on the side and it should hit at least mach 4.

I am going to do that. I have a Honda HRM-210 Lawn Mower, Later on today I will go out and get a Type R Sticker, then slap it on the side. It should cut grass much faster with it pasted on there.

EDIT:
Post thought: Riceing a Honda Jet would make an Interesting Worth 1000 Photoshop contest. Submit your entries now!

Two Honda HF-118 engines, each rated at 1,670-pound thrust at takeoff power the HondaJet.

How long until someone puts it in a Civic?

Can't wait to hear that thing with fartcans strapped on.

So wait... if this thing has Maximum take-off thrust 757 kgf (1,670 lbf) x 2.. does that mean if one of the american motor companies made a jet the takoff thrust on it would be somewhere around 3,000 x 2?
