you mean vol.87, in stock form, the new type r was kicking the s2k's ass. but tuned version, it was the other way around. i guess being a front wheel drive will always be a disadvantage

Yes That's what the Product Planning Exec says. 45 units from the first batch. and apparently 75% has been booked.

Holy Cow! Look at the vast quantities of jism being expelled in this thread. Astounding!

Anyway, to throw a wet blanket over proceedings, I'd rather go for a Golf Gti. The CTR is too hardcore for 90% of the time, unless you happen live on a race track.

Someone mentioned selling the Merc for the CTR. You might have to reconsider unless you have something else to drive to work. Just a thought.

silverfish,

why do you say it's too hardcore? Having checked out the Type R in the metal , it's been built to similiar ideas like the Satria R3, which had most major soundproofing removed, firmer suspension etc. And teh SR3 was still liveable day to day.

And the Civic is a booted sedan with four doors, there's still stereo and air conditioning. Still practical. More so than a hatch.

Of course, Golf GTi has better daily use capabilities (especially with the brilliant DSG) being more street oriented.

Though after having driven the Golf on both Street and SIC Track, I am curious to see how much faster the Type R would be ..
