Hello neighbors!
I agree with the wannnnggg look'n like a wannabe bolt-on you would see on a some red badged happy previous generation Accord Too tame look'n now for my taste overall. I'm keeping my eyes on a BMW 2023 manual M2 (G87)=)

Roll race smoked it rofl. That's embarassing.

fl5 is more comfortable and less crazy styling thats the only benefit along with a better headunit lol

So wider tires and newer rubber makes the fl5 faster around a track. But slower in a straight line.
tire and wheel swap, which is common on our platform negates fl5 advantages.
your basically paying for new looks and infotainment. Not worth the adm.

I don’t think the wider tires would make up the difference in lap times alone.

Sadness Kinda like a step back......

Idc if it’s 2 seconds faster on the track, it is a stylistic abomination and someone should be held criminally liable for putting a wing on an Accord and calling it the new Type R

Would love to see what my Type R with NSX 19" wheels and Pilot SS tires on it would do vs the FL5 lol

Slower from a roll, not from the line.

Should use the OEM FL5 wheels instead. They are ET60

Even better of a test.

He did say in the beginning the tires were worn out on the fk8..? Overall, happy with the fk8

So surprise surprise like many users have said for the last couple of months this thing is a side grade than an upgrade. It seems like right now for us that have the regular FK8 2020+ GT version we are offered a better side grade than the LE. The LE still has purpose but it seems like this new one is slightly and i do mean slightly better on track. thoughts? looks like we might have to wait until the facelift version two years from now (guessing).

The customizable drive modes is nice but not THAT nice.
