Nice find! Thumbs up for posted the link!

Great that they compared them, this will certainly settle a lot of arguments (or start new ones!)

um... there somehting not right with her driving...

[Encor3]

is it just me or is she really close to the steering wheel?

Thats a proper driving seating position from what I learnt

Result was expected of course.. more power, better brakes and LSD

That is how close you are meant to sit if you are on the track.

Might seem weird but she's not just a TV presenter she's actually a Pro race driver.

Gee that was a hard one to predict lol..

That was really good..well obviously the FD2R is faster, still prefer my civic to be honest..as she said the suspension is like rock solid so for general driving which I do during day..the civic is already quite stiff and as she said the FD2 is even stiffer so yeh.. the FD2 is still a really nice car and I wouldn't mind stealing the brembo's off it lol.

Overall the FN2 still performs quite well against the FD2, as it doesn't have an LSD nor does it have hydrolic suspension and the difference is only 3.5's considering the power advantage the FD2 has over the FN2..the FN2 doesn't perform too badly.

i agree with that how the FN2R performs quite well in regards with it not having LSD and stiffer suspension etc .. but in my view with the rock hard suspension, i wouldnt be looking for comfort (ride wise) in any of the race bred Type R's (dc2, ek9 and so on). It cost about 50k or something around that mark for the FD2R and if i were for comfort i would be goin for something like BMW or something in that price range.
