Then please don't tell me where I do or don't belong and don't call me friend as I don't even know you. Now that we have that under the bridge.

I admit that I have never driven the Renault or Focus RS. But from reviews it stands up to everything the ITR was back in the day plus more. That is it for me on this topic.

Also want to add that I have nothing against tranzformer, Im sure he is a nice guy. But if you are gonna say something rediculous, I will call you on it.

Is that extra power cost $10000 then It better be like 300 hp total!

Mines,

I don't think anyone is saying there's anything wrong with the Type R. My first drive of one was at a driver training facility 15 years ago. After having a giggle that the owner (who I'd known for some time) had gone and bought a fwd, I drove it and couldn't wipe the smile from my face.

We subsequently had a few in our group with cars being in entered in national circuit racing and tarmac rallying events. They were fast and by fwd standards, engaging.

That mantle has now been passed and the new fwd king is a Renault. Long live the king.

Whats with the hostility?Debate is a good thing, as I said earlier I have nothing against you, and anyone enthusiastic about this car I would consider a friend. I don't have to agree with you to like you.

Talk about off topic lol

tripjammer · 12-07-2011, 09:01 PM

Why are we even talking about FwD cars? Those are the past rwd is the future! Hehe! Everybody and their son is gonna start to make small rwd coupes like the FRs/BRZ/86.

mines13 · 12-07-2011, 09:01 PM

You are so right... maybe we should argue about the factory standard nav now. ;p

I hope you are right.

Oh and ITR > BRZ.

Hopefully the BRZ becomes the second car I have no intention of ever selling lol

is this the first review to clearly state they turned the VSC completely off with 3 second hold down and explained how it handled? nice review. Now that the premium has standard navigation and HID I think I will go with the premium instead of the Limited. ^_^ exciting!
