Car and Driver Instrumented Test Performance Results for Civic Type R

[NoelPR]

If I have to choose between a CTR and a GT with PP.

I will first check how my car kids car seats work in the rear on the mustang. If is too much of a hassle then I will move to the CTR.

But I would still look back at the GT awesome 5.0lt N/A raw performance. The car is a beast in terms of acceleration compared to the civic.

I say there is something intangible feel to having a high revving v8. The coyote is a gem.

gass guzzling v8 vs fuel efficient turbo 4 cylinder...

Oh c'mon, put the Coyote engine in a 3100lb car and it would get similar mileage. It also makes ~130 more horsepower. The Coyote is far from a gas guzzler.

Actually, in my opinion, the Voodoo engine is the real gem. A normally aspirated flat plane V8 that revs to 8,250, it's a wonderful sounding engine that also makes 526 hp. It's a great day to be alive when there are cars and engines like the CTR and others readily for sale at dealerships.
