    No, I don't think the 6.6 second number is from motoring tests. It's a claimed figure from Honda UK.

    sorry, you just seemed to be naively defending the FN2...

    if you did indeed think that Honda said they actually "did this times" then that's OK...

    we all make mistakes now and then...

    If FN2 should not be sporting the 'type r' badge, then none of our aussie spec type r should. Eg: DC2R

    Hang on a minute, the DC2R is the only type r that was designed as a raw vehicle for the circuit/street.....this is evident in the weight reduction, re-enforced chassis, double wishbone suspension and lack of sound deadening. So what the front ends are different, there will always be a split decision on what front end looks best and there's only like 8kw difference between a stock JDM and AUSDM.

    The DC2R is a highly praised car and is it is well known for being a genuine street car that can be taken to the track to see its full potential.
