my guess would be around 14.5s... as the 06 Si does it in around 15.1s

It sweet eh allyuh?

isgarali · Postby **isgarali** » March 5th, 2007, 6:40 am

i hoping it will be around 14s........because the turbocharged mazdaspeed3 does the quartermile in 14.1s......i cant live knowing the the mazdaspeed is faster than the civic type-R knowing that the type-R comes with a K20A2 engine.

its still a prototype the production model still yet to come or has it?

isgarali · Postby **isgarali** » March 5th, 2007, 1:40 pm

it coming out this month

3stagevtec · Postby **3stagevtec** » March 5th, 2007, 3:05 pm

but the madza speed 3 has turbo charged, 260hp engine... the CTR is a NA 2.0 making 200hp...

isgarali · Postby **isgarali** » March 5th, 2007, 3:42 pm

but if the Si Civic can make a quartermile in 15.1 seconds, and the mazdaspeed3 makes it in 14.1...........why cant the type r be faster? after all, its a type r......which is supposed to bo considerably faster than the Si.i duno why honda made the Si and Type r with such close specs!!! :evil:

^^^have you add the spoon crank, rods and pistons and rev it tuh 10,000 itwill be... :mrgreen:

ingalook · Postby **ingalook** » March 5th, 2007, 11:22 pm

It should be faster that the Mazdaspeed3 out of the box... honda has been building Rs for around 12 years now... they have always been the fastest in their bracket...

To give up that hallowed ground to Mazda who have made their first foray into this segment (unless you count the MP3) on thier first attemp doesn't look to good to honda... it makes it look like the Rs were only good because no other car company was making anything to compare to them... but now you don't need an R since there is Mazdaspeed, and SRTs.

I doubt the Type-R will be NA... it simply cannot compete if it is... sure it will have an excellent chassis and suspension... but it will just feel down on power... imagine brimming with honda-glee after buying your R only to be smoked at a trafic light by a 5 door people carrier - NOT COOL

Expect the next Type R to be pushing at least 240hp... or it may even be whipped by the next Ralliart lancer (suspected to come out just after the Evo, meant to compete with the WRX while the Evo X continues its epic battle with the STi)

I remember reading in SCC magazine a few months back that they were appealing to Honda to boost the new type R... though it may seem a travesty... its a necessary evil :twisted:

doh be hating on mazda.. :lol:

..but i kno the type r is a really good car an cud out do the mazda3 tho easily with sum lil tweaking so respect to type r

ingalook · Postby **ingalook** » March 6th, 2007, 1:47 am

No... I wasn't hatin on Mazda at all... the Mazdaspeed 3 is a GREAT car

The type R has its work cut out for it... it should not need "sum lil tweaking" to beat the speed3... it should do it out the door!

Why should I have to mess with a type R? You never had to in the past... they were as near to perfect as production cars could be... people who spend the money for the R don't want to then have to shell out another $5000us for a "spoon crank, rods and pistons" to beat a speed3 - plus void their warranty in the process.

I'm sorry... but saying it could beat a speed3 with a lil tuning demonstrates that we are willing to accept mediocrity form a Type-R simply because its a Type-R, something we never had cause to do in the past :roll:

Mr. Ingalook.......you have spoken well

!!!!
i just cant wait to kno the quartermile time on the type-r!!!!!
this is one car i just cant wait for!

ingalook · Postby **ingalook** » March 6th, 2007, 11:31 pm

There is also the possibility of a NA K24A pushing 260hp... what you guys think?

the MAZDASPEED 3 is currently the fastest stock hatch on the planet..even faster than the VW golfGti :!:

Are you saying the Mazdaspeed can't take a corner?

isgarali · Postby **isgarali** » March 7th, 2007, 1:17 am

"Are you saying the Mazdaspeed can't take a corner?"

why are u insunating that ma boy

Spyrogyra · Postby **Spyrogyra** » March 7th, 2007, 6:21 am

who cares about quarter mile times in a CTR??? it's not a drag car!!!

I doubt the Type-R will be NA

The whole type r philosophy is based on an n/a platform, if there was forced induction it would no longer be a type-r

civic is not a flickin drag car
its built for circuit/track

someone give this gentleman a cookie, in a world of skylines and Evo's there are better options to choose from when it comes to straight-line performance, but I'm willing to take a Spoon built CTR and give any Skyline and every version of the Evo ever made a good long whiff of my sweet C16 scented exhaust on the Nurburgring, even on a bad day............there's just this pesky thing called cash which I don't really have alot of......

So if you're thinking about getting a CTR for straight-line jollies you might as well buy a Goya painting to wipe your ass. It makes as much sense as kissing your sister, on the lips, with tongue. Save the money and buy something with more grunt than grip............

1. type R is honda's best...
2. honda, mugen and spoon have play with boost
3. does honda have the R&D to make a Boost Type R? (note. point 1)
4. for honda the "goal" was never "the highest HP" but the best performance car. (eg nsx vs skyline with both car in stock form on a circuit)
5. if honda wanted more HP they will quicker add displacement/better production and more refine tuning.

stephanweaver · Postby **stephanweaver** » March 7th, 2007, 8:41 am

the gearing, suspensiuon, chassis, ect [not no lame ass brakine < nissan brakes]
is what makes up a honda, particuarly honda.

Spyrogyra i dont know if u had my back or not ?

but it looks so... thanks.
