EP3 Civic Type R - why not?

[Matt-Rallye]

Non taken, it's certainly not faster than a rallye in its current state but I do hope to beat a standard 6 this summer
Likewise don't you suppose a 6 with some work could outdo a standard st? Or is that not what is being discussed here?

Also people make mistakes, so bashing someones handy work isn't very sportmanshippy or whatever

He called my Rallye a shit bag, gotta defend my fair ladies honour

My point is the claimed standard for standard thrashing a 306 gti6 would bestow upon a focus st is ridiculous.

Look at the amount of torque (and extra weight / bigger wheels and tyres) the focus has from pretty much idle! 306 has a lovely linear torque and power curve as standard despite being 16v twincam and i like that. but the focus has bags of torque and when it comes on boost its guaranteed to be gone.

Anyways enough of the focus st Vs gti6 argument,

Civic EP3 type R... Go test drive one and report back here as i want to know how a fellow owner rates it
