I disagree. What makes the Civic Type R so amazing is the balanced chassis. That car is 25% motor and 75% everything else. It laps faster than an s2000. While most of the cars you mentioned are torque steer monsters (not mini) the CTR isn't. But the Civic is much faster than all of those around a track.

I don't know, i drove the MS3 and it was pretty jumpy.

What do you mean not a fantastic event?

Typical Honda heads don't know what makes a car great anyway. I could care less what they think. This is a great drivers car just like the NSX is. This car is above the level of an Evo and an STI. Especially since the new ones are more about Pentium processors than mechanical driving skill.

i agree that the FD2 is an awesome step from honda in this computer driver world. a while back when i was looking at the amuse and j's racing s2k's, i came across this beauty. i have only seen this vehicle race against s2k's. it does really well.

there is another video im desperate to find. I think it was two FD2 vs 2 s2000s and the FD2 won because of corner speed, control on the brakes, and even straight line. Just Fantastic car.

Found the video....worth a watch
