You guys sit here and spill crap about how the FN2R is crap and FD2R is god almighty. Do you realise that if the FD2R did come to Aus? I honestly think none of you guy here would buy it!
Just accept the fact that the FN2R was made a "Type R" and deal with it. Just because it doesnt fit the criterior of a "Type R" 15 years ago does not make it a piece of shit nor does it make it any less of a Type R. Things change!!
These days the market is dominated by 40k - 50k cars and Honda have to be competitive.
Have any of you guys driven a Type R other than maybe a DC2R?? I bet not.
I however have driven a FD2R whilst I was in malaysia, and dead set, it is not all that you make it out to be. My stock EP3R would give it a run on the streets.
All comparisons are made at the track etc....fair enough. But remember howmany people go to the track for the FD2R to take its advantage??
IMO Honda did not bring the FD2R to Australia due to the fact that people who have 40K + to spend on a car would not buy it. And the dreamers who want to buy it is just that. If I was to buy a track car and had over 40Ks to spend, I'd buy a STI or EVO anyday.
I understand both sides of the argument, but stop crapping on the people who actually have FN2Rs they like it they buy it. Unfortunately for you slackers it is again a "Type R".
We are all enthusiasts of Hondas and share that, not bag each other. We dont go bagging so poor kid about his riced up breeze do we??
Thats my very big 2c worth!!
