the Miata is also not 45k.Before I scrolled down, 32 was the exact age in my head, haha. I don't know if I see anyone above like 45 owning this, though...the "mature" (read: not me) crowd might think its too boy-racerish. But if I'm wrong, hats off to the 45 and up crew
Agreed. Look at the Miata, prime example. Sure isn't a bat out of hell, but definitely highly revered. A complete package >>>> driving in a straight line.
Only CMBS (City Brake) and Lane Keeping, but it can read road signs!Does anyone know if the UK edition Type R came with any of the safety features available with the standard editions of the Civic? I'm meaning lane assist warning, Collision Mitigation Braking System, etc.? I'm wondering if the newest Type R would have these features.
23 over here and have been saving for about two years to purchase it!That's a pretty good question. I'm guessing average age will be 32. People coming out of college that get good jobs and have manageable debt will be the younger buyers and I'm guessing 65 will be the upper range due to the harshness of this type of vehicle. Younger people who aren't thinking about car seats in the back just yet maybe also... I'll have booster seats in mine but there seems to be ample space.
Highschoolers will have to have their parents pay, and I really wouldn't think it's a sensible car for a youthful or immature driver.
Good job man! Not to play old-man on you, but I messed up when I bought my 99 Si at 19 for $16,800. Really couldn't afford that car. Pay cash if you can!!23 over here and have been saving for about two years to purchase it!

My last car was a 2013 Si with a PRL Turbo kit -- GTX3071R -- with 418whp, 360ish on low boost. The main issues were: traction on stock tires and the clutch dying (even with Stg 4 CC -- I heard it was just back in for another clutch and I sold it a year ago, surprised it lasted that long to be fair.)I've been struggling reading this forum thread (and others) because I just can't get through my head how in the hell 335 horsepower can go exclusively to the front wheels. I understand what the LSD will do and I know Honda has some suspension components that work with the diff that helps eliminate torque steer, but I still can't see that much power going to the front wheels. I've driven FWD cars with 250 and 270 horsepower and it was the farthest thing from sorted. The FK2 was and is praised for its lack of torque steer and immense power output, so I don't foresee Honda deviating from that with a CTR that's highly anticipated, such as this 10th generation. If I'm being ignorant, I encourage someone to share their view on the matter -- I and many others are here to learn, after all.
Do a little research on the revo-knuckle and the GM hiPer Strut and you will begin to understand how the power is managed.

Agreed... Like the article above notes, the trick is to get the center of mass (and thus angular momentum) as far forward as possible. For the CTR I have some guesses for the model differnces:Well, actually there are plenty of FWD cars with north of 300HP, including an Acura. Granted, not many are billed as the nimble ninja of the both street and track.
There are numerous examples of FWD cars that have been boosted, blown, and blocked to well north of 1000hp, so it can be done.
Here's an article on the physics involved:
