watch the video and speedo :p
for those who still doubt to what honda claimed to be 6.6s
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H5I5...eature=related
launch at 1km/h at video time 0:07/ 0:25
reach at 99km/h then 103 km/h at video time 0:13/ 0:25
104 km/h at video time 0:14/0:25
:thumbsup:
sorry mate - i still doubt it and i watched the video :p
People who have taken these to the strip - what have they achieved? Honda claims 14.8. That would be a more respectable test.
no way the FN2R does it in 6.6 my euro does it in a bit under 8 seconds n theres no way the FN2R felt more than 1 second faster to 100. I reckon its more like 7.0-7.5 seconds to 100
I can't read the damn numbers in that fuzzy vid.
You can't compare the Euro the the FN2R. The FN2R is lighter, has shorter ratios and could even have a lighter flywheel.Quote:

and check the speedo, the video dont tell lies
i m bit sceptical too
but there are more article was saying that they had tested and prove it
so its up to the driver
hmm .. but then again its all depend on so many factors to reach its 6.6 sec claim.. such as uphill or downhill road, road conditions, weather temperatures, number of passanger on the car, tyre conditions, driver ability .. bla bla etc etc
honestly.. sometime i feel my car is fast at a time and launch unexpectedly quick especially in cold weather and night but then again sometime is a bit sluggish during a hot summer day ..hell its almost the same as my previous ride which is a wrx ( sometime is violently quick sometime so sluggish) o well ..
Found it, thanks. The high quality thing appears only after the whole video is loaded on my retarded browser. It looks like 0:07 to 0:14. And even with that, the speedo could still be under reading and is also refreshed very slowly. I'd believe 7.0 to 7.x 0-100km/h time. If it was a 0-60mph time, then yes, it could be high 6.x.Quote:

The FN2R shouldnt be considered a type R its just too heavy for a Type R it made a consistant 7- 7.5 0-100. Ive run the euro against the type r n the euro was only left behind by half a car length. I know that its also the driver but yeh theres no way its 6.6 seconds for the civicQuote:

honda claimed 6.6, they got 6.76s and 0-400 14.94
renault claimed clio to be 6.9, they got 7.41 and 0-400 15.28
not bad for heavy type r, weight reduction would get even better
there are some more about type R vs other, i just forgot the link, they got the same result just close to 6.7 6.8 6.9, well yeah, round up to 7 s ,
what honda claimed is right, i guess, it depends on the driver
