Who's been upsetting the Type R people ?

[Keith R 0]

The CTR will give a C a run for it's money round a track no probs and may even beat it, if you'r willing to drive it hard it is very rewarding, of course I would prefer a Cupra R 225 but the CTR is very good, the revs seem to climb much quicker than in the VR, must be a lighter flywheel or something.I read some of the stuff on that forum tho and I think they are kidding themselves even thinking that a CTR will lose a S3 225 :lol:

 

No-one claims to be able to loose an S3 225 on the Type R forum. But I can tell you from experience that there is fcuk all in it between the two cars, assuming they are both standard. The older, lesser powered S3, the CTR has got the legs on.

I should post what Evo's John Barker wrote to me about about the CVR6 vs CTR debate!

[Jim 1]

I think you should.. and I think we're well grounded enough to be able to take it on the chin if he slags the Rado off :)

Dear Nick

 

Given the choice of a well maintained, very tidy Corrado and a new Civic

Type-R I'd take the VW every time.

 

The CTR isn't bad but it looks like hatchback that swallowed a shed, its

engine is rather on/off, and its handling lacks detail feel and feedback.

Sure, it's grippy and it's quick if you're prepared to rev the nuts off

it, and, yes, it probably is quicker in a straight line and around a

track, marginally, but so what? The Corrado is a much more rounded

driver's car. It's effortlessly real-world quick thanks to its torquey,

characterful V6, and has neat and beautifully poised handling (helped by

its low-slung build). It also rides comfortably, seats four and swallows

their luggage and is so much better-looking than the Honda.

 

Has he actually driven a Corrado VR6? I doubt it. Don't let him drive

yours. And don't bother driving his CTR - it'll be hard to be polite if

you're used to the understated brilliance of the Corrado, and I imagine

you'd like to stay on good terms with him.

 

 

Yours

That is the ugliest thing this side of Peter Beardsley's ass!

 

The Japs can make some wonderful looking cars, but I don't recall ever seeing a good looking Honda?????

I thought the original CRX coupe was an attractive looking car.... although perhaps not this one...

[Supercharged 2]

Ford, I think you've uploaded the wrong picture - thats Dinkus's Corrado...

[Kevin Bacon 5]

You nutter Steve :lol:

i like look of supras

 

however they would look nearly as nice if they didnt have that 3.0 twin turbo. mmmm big mmmm turbos mmm spoiler

[CazzaVR 0]

Think the 'teg is a really nice looking car- both the mk 2 and 3.

 

NSX isn't too bad, and don't mind the last shape prelude- has to have the spoiler though. The EG Civic VTI wasn't too bad either- I'll try and dig out some pics of my old one.

[samm_cvr6 0]

I wouldnt't say any of them look as good as a clean Corrado but NSX,ITR,CRX & Supra do look good.

[Jim 1]

Supra = :notworthy:

 

I dunno - its just such a ridiculous, powerful, attention grabbing large looking car - the only rival for it IMHO is the 300ZX! :)

 

Would love either :)

And the mpg is only rivalled by...... the VR6 :)

[rado-steve 0]

the only rival for it IMHO is the 300ZX!

 

Or a Mitsi 3000GTO

 

Do think the CRX is quite cool, so will maybe retract my last statement......RX7 or an EVO6 are my fave rice rockets!
