I have no idea how much smoke they're blowing out their asses with such comments, but it's interesting to hear.

My Civic with racing stickers (and otherwise all stock) would eat lambos

I was off on my numbers though- I've read the SC 2.5 can get close to 400hp, but becomes insane to drive. 330hp is a better number to go with (less boost). On a 2650 pound car = 8lbs/hp I'm currently sitting at 260hp at the wheels. The torque gain on the SC 2.5 is apparently crazy. Near linear torque curve.




Yeah, I'm doubt the MS3s pull on a BMW (maybe a 320i lol)... Those things are known for wheel spin even in stock form. If adding more boost, it's just too much to get the power to the ground. The fun of FWD...
I've seen many MS3 eating 328i without any issue. Not sure what's so unbelievable about that.

I think you guys are underestimating the 0-60 on a tuned MS3. I see them often here at the 1/8 mile and they're under 8 secs. On 1/4 they're low 12. Stock they're low 14.

6th gen stock 328i are also low 14. 5th gen stock 335i does the 1/4 in low 13 to 13 and a half.

Very racing.



I'd never buy a MS3 anyway. The look.... *puke*
I hate hatches, and even more overdone racing hatches. My name ain't TacoBello, you'll never see me masturbating to Civic R pics.

Sure, keep polishing that rust bucket of yours

Let me know how it works out with your sweet rims after your transmission shits the bed

just an eye for an eye!

But in all seriousness, I will be buying a type r eventually. Childhood dream car (as far as attainable cars go). #ricerboi4lyfe

I won't buy for a few years, so it might end up replacing the TL as a daily. I'll cross that bridge when I get there, though.

Sigh... I still struggle with it on the daily. Technically it died in Dec 2014.

As far as when it started? I didn't think I was a man yet.

I'm kind of like the tin man, or lion from Wizard of OZ... Still looking for my man card... All I know is that it's 6 feet underground somewhere...

I'm not so sure. I don't think they would call it an R then. It'd be like an SiR, or ILX-S or some shit

Honda heard about your driving style Justin. So they designed a car to better protect you and give you curb clearance.
Don't forget cameras in the rear for those suspicious trees that "jump out of nowhere"

Well you say that, but clearly some people have had to change the clutch after 160K miles of hard driving. I think that shows why Honda put that in there.
