Wheels Magazine Civic Type R review

[Chris_typer]

Yeah I actually think my mate is FOS..but then again it just goes to show that the 'Wheels' stats weren't that accurate.

[quangsta]

could it be that honda estimated it with the times down a sticky strip? whilst the motor magazines guys did it on your average country road? even then i guess the different shouldnt be that bad..

[tinkerbell]

Here is some results from the UK. Got a 6.8 0-100 and ran a 15.3 1/4mile

the UK CTR is only 1276kg,

not the 1350+kg the lard arse aussie car is...

[tinkerbell]

could it be that honda estimated it

by randomly picking a good 0-100 number and subtracting .7 seconds from it???

honda = full of shit.

Does anyone know why there is such a massive weight diff on the Aus model compared to the UK model? this may explain the stat's diff

[tinkerbell]

we get soemthing similar to what is known as the "GT Spec" version...

Where does that article say 0-100 in 6.8 seconds?

It says 0-60mph which is 96kph.

The magazine was wheels and as already stated it was at the Tooradin airport strip.

Nice trolling. So an EK9 or DC5R is a POS? Face facts, DC2s are great cars but are getting long in the tooth. They're hardly the be all and end all of fast Hondas.
