There's so much misinformation here on this car but here's just 2 examples that perked my ears the most as a type r owner. 1. The hood scoop does not cool the engine anyone with eyeballs would be able to see that it cools the brakes. 2. You said the golf r needed awd to post similar numbers, and that the awd system is heavy. Again you are wrong the weight difference between a golf r and a type r is like 80lbs, you just made the assumption the golf r is far heavier when it's actually very light. The type r is actually quite porky in comparison for a fwd car. Also the type r will lose on the street to a golf r many drag race test will show this only on a track can the type r out corner the golf. It's like little to no research was done on this video.

all people say its riced out by the factory but they are dead wrong. as said in the video its built like that for a reasonive used a type-r before(borrowing it, obviously)and it steers great(as said in the vid)and if you let go of the steering wheel while going straight, its stays the same even if you accelerate more and moves if you only steer the wheel again. the chairs hug you as you corner, the fake vents aren't actually fake at all and its serves for great aero dynamics(as said in the vid. the plastic spoiler actually makes 60+pounds of downforce for faster corners(as said in the video.

Just got a 2018 CTR and for a FWD this suspension is tuned to perfection and in stock form is decently fast. Im already running Hondata FlashPro on an E30 ots map which gave me an additional 50whp and 70ft lbs of torque. I enabled flat foot shifting, disabled rev hang, full power 1st and 2nd, with improved throttle response and it has transformed it to a very fast car. Everything else is stock. This is coming from an 04 STI owner which on its last build had 612 awhp and 597 ft lbs of torque on 100% E85. Granted my Suby was a stock GTR killer but the CTR is going to be my track monster.

I want a brand new generation of Honda Prelude, with a new version of the excellent H22 engine, but with a turbo or bi-turbo setup, AWD, and the return of AWS. If Honda is taking the Civic to this level of performance, and finally adding turbocharging, then I'd love to see their current team of designers and engineers have a crack at a 6th gen. Prelude (except it needs to weigh less this time. Awesome episode, fantastic-looking Civic: )

Driven a type R with a little over 400whp and with upgraded tires. it feels like a c6 z06 with some supersports. So much grip and power. the suspension on that thing feels so natural and so flat making all the turn-ins and exits so predictable. A little brake-boost mid corner exits makes this thing zoom. Love it, and cant wait til the price on these bad boys drop so i can take one home.

Could be the best car ever, but I don't like it. When I think FWD track monster, I think of a lightweight, fun as hell, nimble, quick-accelerating car that sounds great. This is another victim of the modern day cars being huge and heavy. I know that is something we can't fight, but it's a bitter sweet thing that affects a model lineage.

You did a type R video. Thats like what people that just found out Honda is bad ass, cling to. Why not cover the SI? Or its MUGAN counterparts? Why no old school hatch vtec swaps? Why not just a whole vid on vtec? I got a dollar on your lambo if you show the si some love in any of these topics. Please.

I hate Doug video about civic type R. He says it is the worst hatchback while all other people reviewed it says it is the best car. He says it is over styled but all parts serves a purpose. Just see the Nurburgring race. Typical Honda haters
