2015 Civic Type-R

Isn't the Focus RS possibly coming to the states? I don't remember if it was confirmed or not. I wonder if Honda is seeing if the RS is successful here--if so, I wonder if we would see the type R come here.

Regardless of whether the track times are fabricated I think Honda really put a lot of development into this car. A bit sad we probably won't get one in North America, but maybe we'll see a few thinks come over to the Si or maybe Acura will have a sporty car again.

Well correct me if I'm worng but Honda's making the type R engine here.

I don't know what car it will be powering but it's worth noting.

Yes it is. I really meant counter-steer. Usually FWD cars (for the track) are setup quite loose because loose-is-fast but clearly this thing still has a non-track specific setup as illustrated by tight corner entry. However it did surprisingly well putting the power down on corner exit.

It looks great and #'s are awesome. If it comes here, I'm putting a deposit down! Been waiting for a cool looking 2-door hatch. If not, I'll find a clean ek or eg shell and slip a k20 in it. I'm sure reaching 300hp in a k20 is easily achievable and cheaper than buying a new type R.

news flash. It's not a 2 door. And getting 300hp to the wheels on a k20 is not "easily achievable"

Didn't see the rear doors Slick. Still a good looking hatch though! I'd still put a deposit if it comes to the US shores!

300hp is achievable when you have the money to spend Single and living with parents help haha!

forgive me, but how heavy is your foot?

I live in a medium size city where 90% of the time you're on the streets you're not exceeding 45mph. and there are soo many lights you have no choice but to be light on the gas.
