7:12 is really fast. Almost as fast as the Nismo GTR with Nurburgring package.

Lmao. Not a pro by far. That Porsche seemed to have loads of grip leftover. Btw, my best time on the ring on gran turismo in a ~450's HP/TQ car is somewhere around ~7:40 on medium racing tires. I can do 8 mins flat all day long after a few practice laps in 300+ HP/TQ cars. And that's from a 0 m/ph start. An 8th gen civic is somewheres around 8.5 mins IIRC on a good lap tweaked to about 250hp/tq. And not a rolling start like the videos. I haven't been able to break 7:30, much less 7:15, but alas I only binge play a couple times a year now. Dont have the time to tweak my digital cars into track monsters like back in GT 1 and 2 days.31.1 seconds is a shit ton of time... they aren't even comparable.
Also, still slower than cheaper GT-R and '08 ACR viper
I have an idea. Since you are obviously such an expert, why don't you go to Germany, rent a GT3, and go show everyone how it's done and clock a 7:07, putting it in super-car territory.
It can be due to a lot of things. Probably a good deal of it is that the porsche is probably riding on nice german digressive shocks that are nice and soft on high speed bumps. Next time you see a porsche on the freeway take a look at the wheels as it moves. They look low but actually have a lot of stroke on the suspension and deals with bumps super well. Japanese shocks tend to not be as digressive, so to get good body control they end up with harsh hard shocks that doesn't deal well with bumps at speed.The Porsche driver seems to be working less hard at steering than the CTR driver. In the CTR lap video, there are many instances where the steering looks quite twitchy, is it due to the CTR's fwd and high HP?
Like it's a $200,000+ sports car and not a $35k hot hatch..I'm sure there's a ton of other possible reasons too.
I read that the GT3 had also rear axle steering.The Porsche driver seems to be working less hard at steering than the CTR driver. In the CTR lap video, there are many instances where the steering looks quite twitchy, is it due to the CTR's fwd and high HP?
You have to work for Honda. Throw out a vague teaser and not give any straight answers.Hondadata R&D finds 2017 Civic Type R limit.. But can't tell anyone.. Due to liability.
So far BR performance tuned FK2R with same engine from stock: 310 Hp / 400 Nm to Stage 1: 350 Hp / 500 Nm Stage 2: 370 Hp / 520 Nm. I'm guessing it wouldn't be above 400HP/540NM this Hondata maximum.Hondadata R&D finds 2017 Civic Type R limit.. But can't tell anyone.. Due to liability.
With this downsizing/environmentalist/tech trend I guess that in the not too distant future these nicely powered internal combustion enthusiast cars will be extinct. That's one of the reasons I'm looking for a keeper enthusiast's car. To taste it every now end then. Just to remember how it feels driving a real car.I would be thrilled to own a Type R and just leave it stock. Drive it for the next 10 years even.
