LOL I'm dying.
Hill country Honda in San Antonio Tx
I was partially kidding to be honest. It just sounds like you bought it for commuting primarily, in which case you made the right move. It isn’t a commuter. I don’t think 99% of CTR owners commute in it, a lot of them have other daily drivers, me included.
Looool do you even own one. Sorry, have you even turned it on or have you only sat in the bolstered seats. You have no clue what you’re talking about. I’ve driven $5k cars and $250k + cars and I know the difference. What have you done, walk to the dealer showroom and kiss ass to the guy with the name tag to open the door and let you sit in a CTR?
Yeah, 20 miles in 1:45 is absolutely brutal, and I wouldn't want a Type R (or anything similar) for that either. For 15 years, I had a 28 mile, usually 35-50 minute commute that I did exclusively with manual transmissions, and it was usually fine. But when the traffic jacked it up to 1:30 I wasn't a happy camper, and I would have liked an automatic.
That’s what I am saying, many type r owners are selling theirs I just hope they are getting good offers
thats exactly my point.
I do own one.
Definitely a fun car. I love driving it. I'll take it to the track when the warranty is up. Seems foolish to do so before that.It’s not the distance that made me sell it, it’s the duration it takes me to drive 20 miles. As I stated before 20 miles in 1 hour and 45 minutes is not enjoyable in a type R.
That you see it between names like this, for $35k relatively at the high end of the fastest Nurburgring lap times. I don’t know if you’re serious about your question or not, but, it boils down to how well it puts the power down in very tight turns. Stiff chassis, great power train and suspension geometry makes it a very fast car in the track.I do own one.
I'm not sure what you mean by "accept" that I'm driving a track car. Who wouldn't want to own/drive a track car. I certainly hope to have that opportunity someday.
I'm happy for you that you've had the opportunity to drive expensive cars. Clearly that makes you a car expert
I'm just tired of seeing all the posts about how this car was "born on the track" and/or that it's a "race car." It's not. And that's okay.
What about this car makes it a "track" car?
I'm probably wrong and maybe I'm crazy. Maybe we're talking about different things. To me, a track car is a car designed for the track. No "comfort mode" and extra comfort items. No need for a back seat that adds weight (along with several other things.) Would have a roll cage and other safety items...the list goes on. But maybe I'm just talking about a dedicated track car. And maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.
Certainly not with the well known and disappointing heat problems....3-4 laps on a track and it overheats?! That was and is the only disappointing thing about this car to me (I'm fine w/o a volume knob for the audio system
)....when Honda clearly markets it as a track star. I have had 4 other cars (still have two of them), that I could (can) thrash all day at the track and there are 0 overheating issues, and they don't heavily market them for the track like Honda does the CTR. You know, breaking the FWD record at the 'Ring, and all the tracks around the world the pro drivers have been going to in order to break FWD records...Sure the issue can be resolved in the aftermarket, but that's not really the point to me.
That is a true problem. Honda’s silence on the topic is bullshit.Certainly not with the well known and disappointing heat problems....3-4 laps on a track and it overheats?! That was and is the only disappointing thing about this car to me (I'm fine w/o a volume knob for the audio system
