So why don't you GET OVER IT, your new Honda is slower than the old ones, slower than its sister car. When did I say DC5R or EP3R was the greatest car in the world? Quote me man...

They suck how? Cause they're faster than your car? They come better equipped? Opinion and marketing blah blah blah... Get past the badge man, I'm not even talking about the bloody badge...

i thnk dc5r slower than type s , how can that happen?

this thread arguing for nothing, better read more review on magazine
leave it to the expert.

I dunno, both about the same to me??? Why don't you ask the DC5R/DC5S owners and get into a debate with them about it

Stock vs stock? Not a chance round the track. R wins every time. LSDs are worth their weight in gold.

GET OVER IT.

And anyway, not everyone thinks the DC5R and the EP3R are the greatest cars in the world either. You do, great - but I'm pretty sure they were never rated as the best cars in the segment even in their prime. And for the record I think they both suck - I don't care how fast they are or how upgradeable they are or how close to JDM spec they are.

It's all a matter of opinion and marketing. Ands anyone who believes in the "Type R" ethos is just that much more of a sucker - no matter what Type R they bought, save maybe the NSX-R.

See, speedy Civics/Integras/etc - hatches or no - are just pretend super-cars - sure, they're not even close - but for just a tiny moment, they make us commoners forget we will never see a black pony in our garage.

That, is what the Type R bullshit marketing ethos is.

And don't think that it was any different for the previous models!

JDM. These poor pretenders with their farting tin cans sticking out the back worship JDM like a god. Now that is some clever marketing. While these kids pour every dollar they earn into their old, beaten down Honda's pretending to be the Drift King, the clever folks with JDM merchandise keep hearing "cha-ching". They spend thousands of dollars for a measly 5kw gain and strip their cars to the point where a 90's Camry looks more luxurious. Now that, my friends, are a million pieces of crap.

Poor baby, while those confused people think they're getting JDM, thats their problem.

You still not able to come up with anything can you?

What's the point? If the owner is happy with their own car, be it a rust bucket or a spaceship with neons, let them be....

Have you got one? 1000 would be victorious in the top end but not as nimble as a 600 around the track. I'm upgrading to the K8 Gixer 1000 soon.

I see what you did there. Take on a build like mine and you'll have a newfound respect for modding a car. We've stripped the car back to a shell and will rebuild the entire car for circuit use only. At which point did I become a JDM fanboy?

You really do have nothing if you've resorted to making fun of my car in my profile.

Or do you mean a JDM style Tsukuba Time Attack?
