Default Raced two type r's

Went out cruising tonight and raced two friends in their integra type r's.

Both have intake and exhaust, on had a unichip.

I won both races by about a car and a half.

No competition there, obviously ... No questions about that, otherwise it wouldn't cost half the price.

no competition? half the price?

I am a little confused but wasn't the MSRP on a Type R around $25,000? Also, the Type R is excellent competition for the S2000 espeacially if its modded.

TypeR costs about $45k here and the S2000 costs about $80k ... almost 1/2 the price here.

One's an FF and the other's an FR ... Still, no competition with mods or not. All you need is a good driver on both and you will find that it's simply a different type of car altogether. Not very much different but certainly ... Different IMO.

Type-R <--pretty good cars in my book, real light, the only problem is... the style is outdated even though the new RSX is ugly...i think a type-r with in/out/header/exhaust/throttle body, should be able to keep up with our S but not in top speed.

The type R with exhaust, CAI and unichip seems to be dead even with me from a low speed roll, but I kill him from a launch or a high speed roll.

The type r's kill the s2000's on tight tracks as they brake brilliantly. On longer tracks its a different story.

Cars are expensive over here, but not that expensive.

Those figures are AUD. 2 AUD rougly equals 1 USD.
