You don't get to arbitrarily decide what matters for engines. The constructor's championship goes to the TEAM with the biggest sponsorship name based on who put up the most money. Even if a Honda engine was in the car that ends up winning the whole thing, it would be Red Bull Racing who wins the constructor's, not Honda. Your argument is shit just like your reading skills! To me, the actual drivers' standings and their corresponding engines say just as much about the engine's performance and merit as the constructor's championship, which is only there so these massive brands can have something to show for the millions and millions they've invested in the sport.

Who's attacking who when you are quoting me and questioning whether I watch the sport? This is a forum. Respond to someone and expect to be responded back to. Don't cry about it. Your comments about the Honda being "racer boy" and "still a Honda" only prove my initial point that people are just hating out of hardcore fanboyism and disrespect. It's cool. You guys look small from way up here on my high horse.

Is it me but does the guy with the british/australian accent come off as not very knowledgeable? The chubby guy seems like somebody you could goto a bar with.

I'd do the new megane rs. Saw the non trophy version in person and the car actually looks quite nice.

These appear to be very close with a competent driver who can drive manual. A track with more straightaways particularly at the beginning and end like many tracks will give the advantage to the M2C. Also if you go with a DCT this will give it even more of an edge vs the manual only type R. I saw this car race a Lexus LC500 and it was close as well though the Lexus driver sucked.

Not sure that track was the best for comparing a large higher HP car like the M2C. He only managed to get up to 90mph once on the entire run. Very small track that's going to favor nimble/light cars over power.
I'll bet you wouldn't get much better time in a c7 vette, either. I'd be interested to see how that shakes out on a larger track. |

Without investigating to much it seems to me that those guys are more in the "happy amateur" league? I attach a test performed by the most accountable paper in Europe, german "Sport Auto". This is an older comparison with OG M2.
Track is Hockenheim GP (a bit longer) and the diff is more than 3.5s. Even so, I think Honda Type-R is an excellent car, fun and very good value. But... the feeling in a M2 is just so much more. RWD, 6 cylinder, length mounted engine, fantastic sound etc. And faster it sure is.
