Re: Type R revisited

["Marc A. Brown" <Mad_One@email.msn.com>]

An stock Integra Type R running 13s.  No way.  All the Type Rs that I have
seen run at the track run 15s stock, mid to high 14s with some mods.  At the
shop I help out at, one of the guys owns a Type R with an intake, header,
and exhaust.  The car does not come close to the 13s.  Another guy has an
Integra GS-R with quite a bit of mods that outruns the Type  R every time.
I would inspect your friends car to see if he has a nitrous bottle hidden in
there.

>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 Acu!
>ra'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...
>geo (glx's still rule!)
