Topic: The Quick and the Dad: 2017 Honda Civic Type R

I am dying over here...

Someone bring a Civic Type R to this race so it can beat both the R and the RS 

[Fobroader]

Autos.ca race!

Let’s see it happen!

You can't bring your 1LE.

Sorry.

Whats the matter, a proper car driving the proper wheels with the proper amount of cylinders scare ya?? [emoji16][emoji16]

Can I bring my van?  And can we change the metrics of the race?

Let's see who can get 7 people (and 3 large suitcases) from one end of the course to the next in the shortest time.  All the people and suitcases need to start outside of the vehicle, like a Le Mans start.

There will be no curves at this track.  Plus it will be on snow.

No you can come because opposite lock slides are awesome.

I would be there in my Saab then, it loves snow.

Saw my first Type R in the flesh today at lunch.  It was on the back of a transporter trailer, but I got a clear view.  It was white.

Honestly, it really doesn't look all that bad.  Certainly not puketastic.  It didn't look any more out to lunch than the new STI I saw in the Superstore parking lot last night.  If you can live with the STI's looks, you could live with the Type R's.

On a bike.

Which I used to do.

A friend of mine a million years ago was getting into it. Had a KX500 for the purpose. It was a beast from what I remember. I ended up moving and lost touch. Not sure how it all turned out for him. It seemed pretty wild.

Type R

close, but no cigar.

Type R

Kinda proves my point, though doesn't it, about the CTR not being too far away stylistically from the STI.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Does the STi have the wing delete option? I forget.

[Great_Big_Abyss]

Actually, I posted that to prove my point that the STI is staid in comparison.

 

I saw a blue one in a parking lot yesterday, and it seemed very off the wall.  Certainly not much better than a Type R. 

My point is that the CTR really isn't all that bad, especially when seen in person.

I know.  Just busting your balls.

But I do disagree.  The Civic is quite ugly to my eyes.  I find the STI attractive.

Eyes of the Beholder, my friend, Eyes of the beholder.

Although we can rest assured that the Focus RS requires 94 Octane.  That is a technical fact, and not up for debate.

actually, it requires 91...93/94 is recommended for max power.

meh...as i said, there's a black one around the corner from me...still looks pretty juvenile to me.
