Wheels Magazine Civic Type R review

[mpd076-chuck]

Think your right, my mate took his FN2 to the track last Friday and ran a 14.1and he recons that wasn't even his best, that was his first try as a warmup.

I call BS on a 14.1 from a stock FN2 until proven otherwise. How can a car that is 165kg heavier than a DC5R, with slightly shorter gearing and marginally more torque be faster?

It can't be. I call shenanigans until I've seen a time slip. I had a play with one tonight on the way home and it's slower than a wet Wednesday compared to the DC5R.
