officially an type r owner !!!

[warrendeath]

TypeR_500 - One more congratulations for adding this beautiful white Civic type R to your car collection. Some will say you are paying too much for the car and they wouldn't buy it at that price, they are just jealous. You are the type of guy that sure knows how to enjoy life to the fullest.

Jealous of the car? Maybe. But I think the envy is lessened quite a bit with mark up. Props to OP for the car, but 10k to me is a college fund for kids, a few vacations, etc. I won't deny the greatness of the Type R but it stops being a value when you're getting charged almost 50 for it

Wow! That was awesome of you to do that. Good thing you tried it out, I have a feeling some who are jumping in paying the markups(that are not followers of the TypeR) will soon be trying to sell on the used market.

Yep, hope he appreciates it.. and does something nice for someone else, paying it forward...maybe gives an enthusiast a ride around the local track or something... I could have bought it and put it on the second hand market and made $5K or something but to me its really not worth the hassle and I don't need the money that bad. id rather see someone else happy in their dream car..!

My Dealer is Awesome. Germain Honda Naples FL....if any of you are interested..

Where are those plastic panels at the side of the engine bay? USDM version does not have them?

From what I can tell, every Civic outside of North America gets them (even the 3-cylinder cars) but none do for North America.

Not even for the $10k over. Thanks for making a point to the other dealers that it will sell for this price.

We all know people with the money like yourself will buy it at the asking price, so congrats. Treat it well and if you ever want to do performance driving with it check out the Buccaneer Region SCCA Solo program. It would be great to see it out. Plus cone marks come out.

Oh wow , so the ADM doesn't go to charity !!

Sure. If you mean their 15 year old daughter who gets anything she asks daddy for.

lmao nah but I must admit sometime I catch myself getting the itch going zoom zoom. the 16 m3 is just something else whole different ball game. after you drive one you'll understand why. 100mph legit feels like 60-70 mph. so when I'm going 60-70 feels a lot slower

Almost any car with high horsepower seems like that. The GT3 is a fast car, and mine has been modified quite a bit, and after a jaunt of triple digit speeds(um, uh, not that I would do that, I just "heard" about it)70mph seems very slow. But the higher end cars, provide power very smooth, and it can be deceiving how fast you are going, and how fast you get there. Plus, they are stable at higher speeds. Now the Type R, isn't considered a very High HP car, relatively speaking of course, with a lot of manufacturers putting out 450+HP vehicles. But on the track, the R is definitely no slouch as it leaves behind cars over twice their price range, even if you include the ADM.

I don't have the RS. I have the 996 body style. There isn't much love for the 996's. However, my GT3 can run right with the 997 and 991 GT3's, as it has very close to the same Horsepower. I however, do not have the rear wheel steering like the 991's have. I might not have the 0-60 speed that the 4.0L 991's have, but on a top speed run, I think I can take them. They have a top speed of 197, I think I am pushing close to 200mph. I would however, love to have the carbon fiber wing of the RS. SO much want there....

Hey Banshee, I have driven my friend 996 and it is very good car. We even drove friend's 997.1 and my 997.2 and those models are more refined but 996 gt3 is very capable car. Plus now 996 prices are going up and holding its value.

Yes, it isn't as refined as the newer models, but then again, most older models aren't as refined as their newer, updated models.
The 996 doesn't have all of the helpers as today's models. No traction control, no stability control, no electronic brake distribution. Just ABS. The 996 GT3 is about as raw as it gets. The 993 models have a very high desirability. The resale prices of these have gone through the roof, especially low mileage, unmolested copies.
