A car is not just a car... it's a lifestyle. If a Civic is your style, great, knock yourself out.

great post i've seen that in a fortune cookie before.

as said before its obvious stock for stock which one will be faster.

but i have to give it up to the new CTR, great car all around.

and for the comment about "in the end the s2000 gets all the girls", you need a car

to attract the ladies?

mugen RR is pretty much a race car. lol u cant compare that to any stock car, but anyways theres a vid on youtube of the mugen RR going around suzuka. wow was that fast. the FD2 CTR was engineered well. i was also surprised that it would beat the DC5 ITR in straight line accel, seeing as FD2 is about 150lbs heavier and only has 5 more hp.

wait never mine i was thinking of the CTR FD2 mugen race car ;p my bad
Well..... to me tuner car and race car are two different things. 35 more hp isn't impressive, anyone can do that. Improving the suspension beyond honda's madness would be much more impressive. Not a race car to me.

I'm more inclined to classify a car based on the way it is used.

I raced a 4 Door SI with intake, headers, test pipe, and k-pro, and I pulled on him every single time, except the first time when I missed shifted second and third!
