I owned a VW between Hondas for a couple years. I was *****ing about it to the dealer, and he told me "between you and me, this car's only designed to go 75,000 miles."

Brakes -- yup, Hondas are under-braked. Even with track pads, they could stand to have more swept area. Still, they're decent enough for their weight and the lower speeds they tend to hit on long straights.
my 1st gen Integra (1989) had a cable clutch. As for the brakes; they're not as noticable at high (over 110) speeds, but it probably would be on a track. I noticed it more at red lights. The worst braking car I ever owned was my 94 Civic - and it had the $2,000 anti-lock brakes option.
