Yeah maybe when compared with the performance of other track cars from 2004.

You couldn't afford a new BMW M product, stick to your clapped out 14 year old E46 and overpriced Subaru with a 15 year old engine and go post on the subaru forums.

People like you,

I sold my ZHP almost a decade ago and I was a part of this forum 'years' before you - thanks for playing guy.

LOL, I drive a M2 competition and a F80 M3 daily and a 911 GT3 for a weekend/track car. You drive two Subarus....

By the way, have you paid your mommy back for the money you spent on the ZHP build from a decade ago?

I found mine in less than 3 hours for MSRP in Socal. They were all listed at $5-15K over sticker though when looking at the websites. Just get on the phone and you will find out immediately who is willing to deal and who isn't.

I had to pay for it and I worked my a$$ off for it, but please continue to ass-u-me like you know anything.

I drive what I like, and have no complaints whatsoever; I may not be driving a decade old GT3, but that's okay with me.

In the interest of attempting to be a mature fellow poster, we've derailed this thread enough and you're welcome to debate me over PM if you'd like.

That's ironic coming from a Subaru owner. I owned an STI and spent years at NASIOC and recall all the threads regarding cracked ring lands and spun bearings. Turns out the forums were right given the recalls.

I owned an '07 STi for 11 years, neither one of those happened to me; however, I've read of those matters too. I do feel it was widely overblown, but an issue nonetheless - fair point.

Not a bad idea actually. Bet my son would trade in his Odyssey for an OTR! It would fit in better with his S2k & Raptor in his garage.
The 'intermediate' M's allow Bmw to bring out the CS & CSL models with the extra cash derived from many more pseudo M derivatives sold to the masses.

You guys do realize a Honda engine is currently beating Ferrari in the Formula 1 championship and only behind a pair of Mercedes AMG powered cars, don't you? Let's save the trash talk for when BMW is not too afraid to compete at the highest level of Motorsport. Until then, STFU, please.
This is such an ignorant statement.

Agreed. Does he even watch F1?

I was in line to buy the Type R to use as my daily, but eventually backed out. Just didn't want another car with a big ass wing out back. Absolutely loved my previous STi, but my wife sure didn't lol

I am afraid of driving it though, as I'm sure I'll just buy it on the spot. I have a soft spot for Honda's.

I certainly do watch every race. Do you? Because if you did, you'd not be in denial of the facts that I've presented. Verstappen is currently 3rd in the points with his Honda-powered car. Yes, this is ahead of both of the Ferraris. And once again, BMW does not compete in Formula 1. Why are you guys so upset over these facts?

Jeez. The butthurt is so real here.

Boy I've been building engines probably since before you were in training wheels. So as far as amateurs, just because you read Indy Weekly don't make you any pro.

The point is, Honda is and always has been in a different league as BMW. Just because you put a quasi 'race' engine in a compact eco box doesn't make it a real world contender.

I worked for Infiniti back when they 1st got into Indy. Their engine was 'based' on the VH41DE engine, but put in the Indy car they were worlds apart. Dry sup oiling, piston cooling oilers, etc.

So calm down Ricky Bobby,
You're trippin' old-timer! Who said anything about the engines being exactly the same? I was merely debunking the false claim that Honda doesn't spend any significant R&D or develop engines that see the "real world" by providing some examples of where Honda racing engines can be related to street engines instead of them just building one-off Formula 1 power units that apparently "don't count."

Again, no one said the Civic Type R is in the same league as the M2 Comp. I mean we're talking a FWD hot hatch vs. a RWD sports coupe. What I did say, however, is that the comments about even having the nerve to compare two performance vehicles, simply because one "is a Honda" are ignorant and disrespectful of a brand with an equally rich motorsports history.

Quit making assumptions. It's also too bad you didn't learn proper grammar somewhere along the way during your stellar engine building career. Might have served you well and made any possible argument you may have had seem half-way relevant to the discussion instead of you just coming off as a complete tool.

Yes I follow every race. And in the constructors rankings, which is what actually matters for engines, Honda is third, and mind you, for the first time in years and years. That's why there are two separate championships. Any real F1 fan would know that. Those are facts. Not the rosey "facts" you claim.

No one is even mentioning that BMW is in formula 1.

No one is upset, but the absurdity that you think Honda's formula 1 engine has any relationship to the Type R is laughable. So, "rich Motorsport history" or not (which is very arguable given how they shit the bed time and time again, e.g., Mclaren Honda), that doesn't mean shit for the road car. When the Type R is using a v6 hybrid turbo engine, then we can start throwing around F1 prowess as an indicator of performance. Until then, "it's still a Honda" is a valid statement. The racer boy fast and the furious look of it alone is enough to make the majority of people on here not want to buy it. But let's not say here that Seth Curry is an MVP because he is related to Steph Curry.

Now, I'm confident you'll respond with some insults in an effort to prove your point, like you did to the other poster. That's cool man, that will just show us all we need to know.
