its to be diffrent imo.

insurance cost?
fuel economy?
attention from thieves/cops?

for me it was value for money... not many cars in the honda range are that different.. especially not now..

where talking about performance cars here not fuel efficient cars

read my first post FN2R already edited it lol

Oops, missed that. Dammit, if you knew someone who had an FD2R for track use only, that would have been great.

I'd pick FD2R over any AUDM EVO since it can do Suzuka quicker than a JDM EVO VI.

i've test driven a FD2R and it was not that great. went pretty well stopped well. but lacked overall drivability.. refinement was great for a new car.. but just doesnt cut it for me i would not pay 41K driveaway for a FWD car
if u look at bang for bucks.. it's not the best.
we may love our hondas but theres better cars for the same price

I'm confused. You edited my quote to change my reference to the FD2R to be FN2R in your post. btw, what makes you think that an FWD is largely inferior to a 4WD car, and not worthy of commanding a pricetag > 40k?

I concur that I wouldn't even pay 35 for an FN2R, but would be willing to pay up to 50 for an FD2R, and back on topic, I'd also pay 60 for a Mugen RR.

what was the lap time the RR put down at tsukuba? 1:05 or 1:06?

lol sorry mate i wrote it as soon as i woke up..
anyways we seem to have the same opinion i would not pay over 30K for 40K for a civic. i do not believe a FWD car is inferior to a 4WD on the track. but..for the 60K estimated price tag i will buy a EVO 9 or STi over the 60K civic.
on the track the JDM civic would definately be a good drive. but in the real world and evo or sti would be quicker everywhere. ( real world as in sydney melb roads)
well thats my opinion...
in the real world FWD just doesnt do it bumpy shity roads loss of traction etc
sorry for the editing mate i didnt mean to lol

I rather buy a FN2R and use the rest for mods - LSD, I/H/E/cams, tuning. I'm pretty sure you would get something close to a FD2R's performance minus the common aesthetic looks of a FD2.

RR>>>>> ur evo and sti

all are based on economy car but rr by far the rarest
