FD2R beats FN2R... all hands down

the FD2R follows da true NSX TypeR inspirations... no idea why aus took da FN2R... is it becoz they're british or hondaAUS were too impatient to wait

i thought the FN2R is actually an SI rebadged n named Type R (like the dc5r we got here) whereas the FD2R is just a Type R, like came from Honda as a Type R not anything else

the diff is not only due to a simple weight diff, brembo, and lsd.

the fd2r is sed to have the best 4 cylinder production engine in the world. Yes this includes the s2k engine. the current jdm k20a is faster than the ap2. Compared to previous jdm k20a rated at 220hp, peak torque comes in earlier, vtec point is 200rpm lower, slightly higher CR pistons. the engine is a precise peice of work.

not only this , the chassis is very well produced, with high tensile steel , making it very very rigid. along with the technology to keep all 4 wheels on the ground as much as possible during large weight transferral during braking and cornering. the fd2r feels like a FR car to drive, with no understeer on turn in, according to drift king himself.

type R built up from scratch by honda japan. king of type R
