What's up with Honda and these fake rear bumper vent things. I don't get it and I think it's

If Honda wasn't having such a dismal year in F1 with their power units I might even consider one! |

Oh Gimmie a break. Similar weather conditions and with modern tires and the Civic will see nothing but 997 Turbo tail lights.

I don't want to believe it myself but here is the article - pictures show the weather is ok...
http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/s...69.html?show=2 ...and here is a friend, who is an accountant - not a professional race car driver, with his 7the gen Golf R with 290 hp doing a lap about the same time as a 997 turbo (~7:50) [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtn_ot81qh8"]Golf 7 R Nordschleife 08.09.15 [BtG] w/ 2 Ferraris #undereight Sportauto Perfektionstraining (PB) - YouTube[/ame] So yes, I do believe a new CTR out there can hit a 7:50 or less. I'm also sure there are 480 hp 997 turbo's out there going faster than 7:54... for instance: http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1...ring-lap-times But this wasn't the point I was making earlier - it was that the CTR is in the same competitive space as an STi or RS, cars which are lapping around the same FAST times. Here's a C&D article about a 2011 STi lapping at 7:55 http://www.caranddriver.com/features...ing-lap-record To be in conversation with 911's and GTR's is a compliment for any hot-hatch. Fast is fast. "Adding a few more dollars to get an STi or RS" isn't getting you any more speed, refinement or practicality. The CTR won't need a discount crutch, it'll stand on its own legs! |

The euro Type R just came out. We won't see the new global Type R for at least 2-3 years. And yes it will obviously be turbo like the new base Civic.

Don't like the design at all. Looks as if they mixed my 2nd generation TSX with a Honda Cross Tour.
Looks more aggressive, but not at all in line with the Civic lineage. Pretty much an Accord now. |
