the 135i is the ultimate 'pocket rocket' right now. Essentially a new age muscle car. I'm still waiting to see what the car can do in the twisties.

 

i think we are all ready for some new sporty cars from Honda/Acura. The CR, in my opinion, deserved a little more tuning to really make it stand out to true performance enthusiasts.

making a 4dr Civic Si and a Mugen Civic is not a respectable use of R&D. Too many 'market' cars.

Hopefully the new NSX will put Honda back in the ring ... because right now they seem to just be spectating


Until then ... we'll just hang out here and watch Barry drool over the 135i

Yeah I think they should bring out the S2000 with atleast 300 hp... that would be an amazing car!

 

Ya or even moar!

 

BMW's are ok.. i've owned a few.. i'm not a hater a nothin.. just don't care too much for many of the personalities i've run across who own certain cars.. can't understand why they think such ways..

 

check out the difference in skidpad between the bmw and the cr.....that is quite a bit!!!

 

i agree ... that is decent difference ... but i think we'll see an even bigger difference once they go head-to-head on an autocross. I think the S2000 may have a stiffer chassis which typically leads to faster times on the smaller, more technical tracks.

But, the twin turbo 6 in the 135i surely will make a difference when the road straightens out


Hard to compare these 2 cars ... not really designed to compete in the same category


that's why i like the Stalkers ... they do a little of both

 

skidpad = 90% tires
The CR comes with some seriously sticky meats

 

yea, the meat on those tires are the same that the 04-07 sti's use. Probably one of the best tires out there. i know i will upgrade to those when the re050's run up.
