I would love to see some comparison tests on road courses.
Great braking figure with the lamented semi-brembos.

based on that 0-60 time, 2nd gear has to be at least 60

I'm glad to see this particular dealership was pressured into doing the right thing. I get their side of it, though.. that car would bring in a ton of foot traffic. But they messed up, so suck it up.
I bet someone got absolutely reamed.
Not to mention, they got a free loan. They would have sold that car the day it came off the lot anyways. Be glad they got some "extra money" from it and move on for the next car. I seriously doubt it would be long before they got another anyways.

108mph in the quarter? That's freaking scorching for a factory FI four cylinder! None of the competition can claim that stock.

Also C&D stats:

AMG GLA45: 109mph
Audi TT-S: 108mph

AMG has more power, more weight and awd
Audi has less power, more weight and awd

Both are auto and therefore have much lower ET's than the type r.

Either way, pretty solid stats so far.

And all of them cost more.

Because FWD sucks.

The kill list keeps growing. Can't wait to see the Focus RS added to it too just for fun.

Never thought I would see the day that a Honda has a harder hitting torque curve than it's rivals...

Nissan has a new VR30 twin turbo in the Q50 and Q60. Look for that motor to be in a Nissan "370z" soon.

Considering the CTR wasn't built for a drag race... I'd say it's not doing so bad.

We were running turbo-charged Hondas, starting back in 2002 or 2003. You would be surprised how much power/torque we made, back then.

Cool story. I was street racing turbo'd hondas in the 90's.

I'm talking about from the factory. Why does everything on this damn forum fall back to comparing modified cars to factory cars?
