NEW YORK (AP) -- A Brooklyn schoolteacher whose car was stolen three years ago has gotten it back, totally souped up and unrecognizable.

Amanda Pogany's 1996 Honda was returned to her drag-race ready, with a new V-8 engine, manual transmission, leather interior, tinted windows and oversize tires.

Police found the car at an illegal chop shop and were able to trace it to Pogany even though the VIN number had been filed off.

Pogany had given up on ever getting the car back. She hasn't driven the new version of the Honda yet because she doesn't know how to drive a stick shift.

Exactly what I was thinking. What model of Honda was it?

I'm a bit disappointed at the car. I was expecting something closer to that FSP Protege that came to the last few AX events. With huge wheels poking out from the front fenders.

If someone wants to steal my Miata and make it into a 10.5 outlaw I won't complain :).

Why would you want that when you could have a 14-15 second monster accord?

So your H22 was a transverse mounted V8? Man the power in your car surely sucked for a V8!

since i don't speak Honda-Douche, does this mean the news organization was incorrect in their reporting of the story?

Yes. It's a 2.2l 4 cylinder motor. It should range between ~190-220hp stock to the crank depending on if that valve cover is authentic. A real powerhouse!!!
