ah! the DC5R. ah, i get it.
so, the DC5 is the non type-r, right?
my friend has a vti-r coupe (nice car!) and we always drag when we can. every time we've raced, i've won.

Yea DC5 is non type-r :)
Cool...Civic vti-r is somewhat 30 more kilowatts then I do...hahah
edit: We did a rolling run...He was 3/4 of his car in front of all the way
i've sat in the corrolla sportivo... apparently its got few things againstit
1.weight, pretyt heavy i heard, neone wanna confirm|
2. VVTI-L, only comes in 6000rpm + and only lasts for 2000 rpm i think... compare htis to a b16a, vtec at 5500 all the way to 8500, got a bit more rev range in the wild cam...
3. gearing, apparently every gear change puts u way below the shift point..
i dunno man i know its a nice car, the interior is damn sexy btw... but i really like to run one
Yea B16A, all the way to 8500?? But does it make power all the way? Can you confirm??
I'm not sure about the other points since I haven't driven or sat in a Sportivo before.
Mugen exhaust, Type S intake, Type S cams, AEM cam gears... few other little things....Quote:

By no means am I dissing the Sportivo, but I just can't see a DC2R beating it by just a 'bit' :?

Ghost, The EK4 has a rev limit of 8400rpm.Quote:

0-60, then the civic *might* be faster, but still unlikely.
and i'm talking about cars with same mileage, same maintenance schedule and same state of tune and same driver.
the thing is, we are talking about two cars with similar weight, except one has more torque, 20+ more kilowatts and one extra gear from the factory.

Hi Guys,
Sportivo VVTL-i sent me the link to this thread to have a read very interesting. Im the guy with the chipped sportivo that beat the new integra type r. I have a few friends with honda's and we all c the pro's and con's of our cars. From our own personal testing when i was standard i ran my mates vtir civic. He had exhaust and filter. I won on each run 1st gear pretty even after that though the corolla just opens it up. Ran the new type-r when i was stock and so was it. Man thats 1 quick car beat me each time except for once wen he buggered the start. @ the end of 3rd each time he was ahead though and no way i was going to pull him in. Now after my chip ran another new integra type-r. Even though i absolutly buggered the start and slipped to have my bonnet at his rear wheel NOT ONLY DID I PULL HIM BACK IN BUT I PASSED HIM @ END OF FORTH GEAR. :D :D Have contented again several times with a new type-r and wen i get my starts down pat im just wasting my petrol as i now know im quicker and can get several lengths on 1. Does this mean either car is better than the other NO. All it means is MY car is quicker than some of the type-r's on the road. Nothing else. Have had my ass handed to me by an s2000 :( but have also handed an s2000 his ass to him :D . By the way same s2000 consecutive lights + after i had the chip. Let just say he was surprised how good the car went and gave me a congrats as he's never seen a rolla go so well and the fact i beat him he was astounded, the KEY THING he was a good sport about it and gave credit where credit was due. Your not gona win them all. Something people keep forgetting a race is of 2 things the car and the driver without both the race is over before it begins. Anyway guys enjoy your cars and have fun. I love driving my friends honda's n they the sportivo.
well it is fair cos both cars are in the same class, and if the VTi-R were for sale today, then they would be competing against each other for the same market. :)Quote:
