the man at the takeaway said:

 

"10 grand? Bit much innit? Another grand could've got a Type-R, innit."

 

so then I realised conversation was futile.

 

the scally at the newsagent said:

"what've you had out of it?"

 

now wtf am I supposed to say to that? I actually said "ummm what top speed? well it's eletronically limited to 155. But it's very quick". What a waste of breath.

Civic Type-R is almost 200bph and something like 6.5sec on the 0-60 dash isn't it?

 

I-TR can't be much better, can it?

 

I think all the honda Type-R's are slower in standard form. There was even an accord type-R with supercharger at pod yesterday. still putting lower times than most of the supras. Only thing Honda get close with is the NSX.

All i ever get asked is:

 

"How much? 12grand!! should've got an M3!"

"0-60 in under 5...if you can keep it on the road!!"

"Over 170 top-end...kiss your liscence goodbye!"

"MPG?? That's just daft!"

"Wot insurance group...F@kin' hell"

 

:baa: :angry: :moo:

I think this is the question I get asked most, suprisingly. Loads ask how fast it goes and my answer is always the same. Most all Turbo supes can get top speed.. they just run out of gears. :D Some get there faster than others!
