But put me in a BRZ or CIVIC type R , for some strange reason my right foot gains a few kilograms. That is why i go for drives outside of Sydney , so i can drive the car like it's meant to be driven , otherwise i may as well buy a battery powered prius butter box. |

Concept looks so much better.
So aside from the lights, what has changed? Well, the production car loses the concept’s cool blade-like LED daytime-running lights and the headlight cluster is also a lot more conventional looking; the LED blades are replaced with old-school projector lamps. 24 comparison pictures from different angles . |

As for the lower redline on the new type r... Sucks that it's not higher but I've seen worse. Maybe we can get it up in the aftermarket. I have a buddy with a k20 SC setup revving to 10k ... *Drool* |

The problem lies on the FWD, torque steer, and trying to get the car to hook up with relatively thin tires. With 300hp and ~250tq Let keep this on topic on the NEW CTR, not some old k20 motor |

You're bat sh*t crazy if you think a 06 civic dyno's 192 WHP stock when its rated @ 197 to the crank by honda. Bolt on's and a tune you could see 192 whp. but in conclusion GTFO

IMO it looks like something you'd see in an early fast & furious movie. What the hell is all the aero, wing, diffuser..carbon with shiny shit what is that. Seriously its got nothing AT ALL to do with the R badge.

Looks like that picture of the ft86 which never went into production, is this the real deal or not official production car yet? IDK it just doesn't seem like it'll look that way once its produced.

Are you serious? Show me a FF movie that didn't have outlandish aero on a car.
