Impressed with the New CTR, can't wait until tuners get a hold of them. I saw sheepy post their aiming for ~600hp on the stock bottom end, hell of a goal, who knows if they'll even get close but I'm interested in following along.
Not that I'd buy one to try and make 600hp with but 400-450 with similar tq and little to no torque steer would make a fun driver. I've always owned RWD AWD and FWD sporty cars.
Integra GSR handled wonderfully, as did my Saturn (Opel) Astra (Factory LSD) and my current Veloster Turbo after about 400 in mods to plant the *** and tighten it up, but they all drove beautifuly through my favorite country back roads. IMO a good set of tires makes all the difference.
RWD cars here (with any bit of power anyway) are quite a nuisance. Now if I lived in AZ, SOCAL, FLA, ETC... then a 500+hp RWD V8 would be great. Ours is just a garage ornament hahahaha

MSRP coming soon...
Well, to more people with the increased production.
“But the American market has really driven up demand because it’s not been available over there before. We’re looking at producing about 13,000 units between now and March 31, and we’re exporting about 6,000 of those to the States.”

Impressive, they definitely set the bar pretty high. Just imagine how good the S2000 replacement is going to be. If/when it arrives. http://blog.caranddriver.com/more-de...s2000-revival/

Has a lot of observations vis-a-vis other cars which might be of interest.
