The Mule and I also found a article (speculation) that the US civics will get the Type R- motor (or at least a de-tuned version) for the Si so if this is true I can mean a few things. -Type-R -Si -SiR (joking)

I'm not sure this is officially record for type R, but 7:50:63 is damn fast on the track compare bunch of top notch cars. I hope toyobaru going to come up with a version to response, or do something. The current twin I see from the track list is at 9 ish mark. God damn. |

You need to take into consideration that they use those lap times to sell cars, and they throw a lot of money into beating a competitors time.
How stock was the car and how many engineers/days did they spend to get that time? How much of that car will we actually get? |

I hate Hondas due to many young bucks ricing them out; before you flame, first car was a 89 Honda Accord LX 5spd, then a 92 Civic VX Hatch, then a 96 Integra LS, then a 97 Integra LS. However, I would buy the new CTR if it does come to the US. I would trade in my WRX or BRZ if I buy one before then.

It doesn't make it non sporty - It makes it not a sports car - Which a CTR would never be in the first place. Of course a CTR is a "sporty" car, no one's arguing that a four door FWD sedan that can keep up with a STi isn't sporty. It's just not a sports car.

Sure. And all Honda needs to do is make a RWD Integra Type R with a K22 and a 7 speed manual and throw a 40k sticker on it.
