Re: Type R revisited

["George Turner, Jr." <george@dxnet.com>]

hey Matt, that could not have been a *real* type r that you races against at the track.  if it was, then the driver completely did not know what he was doing.  I have a friend that I autocross with that owns a *real* type r.  That car beats mine in every aspect of car racing.  it smokes me on the autocross, on the track, and the dragstrip.  Believe you me, I am no punk!!!  My car runs a 1/4 in 15.25 @95.9 mph..... his type r *stock* runs high 13's all day long.... I have only seen 2 type R's, and one my friend owns, the other was at an auto show.  A type r runs almost the same times as a Acura nsx.  If you are into the car video called 'options' you will see a 2 and 4 door type r beat the pants off a nsx, turbo mr2, turbo rx7, and some other car...  that car comes race ready with a tail that actually generates down force...not just for looks.  it also has beefy front and rear sway bars, hand built/bored engine, and loads of other stuff.  every knows that I hate Honda's and Acura's, but if I did not have my glx, I would be in a *real* type r, not one of those imitation sticker downed versions...
