No need to write stuff like 'i guess anything you read off the internet must be right' cos I never assumed that (apart from the times that Honda quoted).
Did you not just contradict yourself there? Official sites use them figures as a marketing ploy to attract buyers.
Apart from me searching on the Honda.com.au which I have not found any 0 - 100 times, care to point me in the right direction where you got the 0 - 100 time from?
Does a bunch of videos make it any more believable? The track comes down to the driver much more than a 0-100 or quarter mile time, there's too many variables, mainly involving the skill of the driver.
Of course videos make it more believable because you're actually seeing factual proof of it being run across the 1/4 mile rather than a few numbers and letters on a site or piece of paper. Unless it's a timeslip from eastern creek or something.
We all know by now the Type R is slower on the straight, but who in their right mind even bother buying a Type R if you want to win in a straight line, and that's all you ever talk about. Who's faster in a straight line.
Almost the same shit as to who has the longer penis.
Seeing a video of
PROFESSIONAL RACE DRIVERS race around the track is an indication just how good the Type R is. All of them are skilled, so what exactly is there not to believe?
They push these cars to the limits, and it's being filmed for the rest to watch.
"only to be overtaken in the straights by the S15 thanks to it's 2.0L compared to the 1.8L of the DC2R. " Using this kind of logic, stock Holden Commodores would be very fast cars (some of them are 5L and above). Somehow I think its got something more to do with the whole engine rather than simply its capacity.
Nope, I would consider also the gear ratios, drivetrain layout and capacity helps to an extent. Since V8 commodores does overtake a WRX after both are at 110km/h stock for stock.
Yeh, maybe I'll check out Best Motoring, it sounds good. But one thing, you said that generally NSXs, EVOs and GTRs (im assuming you mean nissan GTR, not mazda GTR) win, well, they are in a completely different class to a WRX. Put as much money it costs for an evo, nsx or gtr into a wrx and then compare them maybe. Remember I was comparing the WRX to the type-r, not to anything else.
Some were STi version of the WRX being raced yet still comes 2nd last or last, now aint that just a bummer.
one other thing, "you gotta love being in vtec territory while the 200s are waiting for boost to kick in"?? Do you maybe mean the other way around?
So when exactly would u be in vtec territory whilst the s15 is still in lag ?
Nah, I meant the way it was stated.
Both going into a turn downshifting using heel and toe technique, the type R just has the edge from no lag power delievery of its engine, since it has a close gearing 5 speed in the DC2R then it's always in the highend where the power is.
While the S15 is probably waiting for full boost the Type R has power ready to go.
. the intake and pod sound frickin awesome on my car wen vtec kicks in. i dunno about others, but it has made a difference on my car.
