And the WRX STI equals/beats them both - but who will want it and who in the USA can purchase/afford to maintain a VW Type R?Wow I was shocked.

Very well! 0-60 Times lists 2015 VW Golf Type R DSG as 4.5 sec / 13.0 - 2015 STI as 4.6 / 13.2 quarter-mileSTI will get beat by the Golf R with DSG no problem at all..... The VW Golf R is a pretty reasonably cheap car also has a 5 year 100,000km power train warranty. That is a bit of a silly comment, obviously there are people that can easily afford a 40k MSRP car lol.
Golf R at 292hp beat the 350HP Focus rs.... How do you think the STI will do? lol.
Don't you miss the sub 2500lb civic days? safety is heavy. hard to blame honda. i do wish that side/curtain airbags were optional and that 20lb or less rims were available. i would shoot for lower but i think the CTR rims are 19" and i'm guessing a lightweight 19" rim bottoms out around 16lbs? could do away with back seats and some trim for a DIY weight reduction. maybe 100lbs there.I want to know what the CTR traps in the quarter.. I am hoping for about 108 MPH or higher.. My 332 hp 2009 370Z got 106-107mph which weighs 3300 lbs.. The CTR weighs at 3000~ lbs from what i've read.. Wishful thinking though. Strangely 3000 lbs is heavier than even the fully loaded Touring sedan which only weighs 2930lbs. The CTR should be lighter I would think.
I'm sorry but that VW is fugly!Wow I was shocked.
