Dont get hung up on numbers - just look at comparisons to other cars on the same dyno. Also this type of dyno measures at the hubs not at the wheels.Quote:

Honda PR and marketing is trying to sell this car saying it's not all about power, yet this car as shown by THIS set of dyno figures proves otherwise...so i think it needs to be put to real life situations.
Hub dyno ;)Quote:

all of those comparison were done using d same dyno (dynapack)...its still interesting too see freakin 19.7kw gain over dc5r (Stock vs Stock)
yeah but then again.....real life comparo wud be good :)
Yes thats fair too say...personally can't wait till he designs some mods for it because I will be interested in purchasing them and this car has some sound potentialQuote:

ALSO re: wheels car test. The Honda brochure states that its 0-100 in UNDER 7 seconds. So i will be very interested in how jtune goes with it.
Ill give my own comparison between DC5R and FD2r on tues/wednesday when i test drive one at Doncaster. FI it lives up to the hype then maybe i might consider it.
CTR has side curtain airbags right?
yeah it does...also has an airbag in the actual headrestQuote:
