18s never stopped me LOL
i cant beleive some people are complaining about this CTR. i remeber like a couple of months back when everyone was so dissapointed when this wasn't gonna make it here..i think its a great car and should do well
That weight of 1301kg for the Type R Civic surely can't be right if the std Euro is 1375kg. If it is correct the 6.6 second time sounds optomistic.
i agree. this has roughly the same output as the AUDM DC5R and the DC5R weighs around 1160kg and does 0-100kmh in about 6.9 or so seconds, so 6.6 for the CTR does sound a lot optomistic...
And it is running 18s versus 16s on the DC5R. You can only achieve so much with the gear ratios too so how does the CTR get that time?Quote:

yeh, DC5R has to shift to 3rd to get to 100. but still man no way it makes that much of a differenceQuote:

See test below

yeh, i think it might be a tad slower than a DC5R but its still an impressive car and i bet its more comfortable and has a shit load more accessories than the DC5R. DC5R's dont even have cruise control ffs
Went to the motorshow today. Saw the type R. Not a bad looking car. The 18" look great. The front foggies too. The rest is not bad, but ill stick with my sedan.
THIS what i've been waiting for !!! any idea how much its going to release?
will get attention for sure, whether its in a bad or good way.
