Just kind of curious what people think and get some arm chair quarterbacking going.
I know that for many the Type R through all the versions have the “soul” of the Type R, one factor being a manual transmission. That brings in variability as far as 0-60mph times making it up to driver skill to squeeze out as much as possible by virtue of their ability to row through the gears. I’ve seen times between 4.9 seconds to 5.9 seconds.
The Velocitor N is getting a dual clutch transmission soon which may make it faster than a Type R. It’s pretty close as is, manual to manual tranny.
The 0-60mph time is not the only thing that makes up a car but with an automatic transmission, how much faster do you think a Type R could be? Would it be feasible? Heresy?
