Try not to look at a ring brothers car or singer porsche or an icon bronco in terms of just how it looks....look at the individual details....the craftsmanship is just on another level.

There's a bunch out there but this is the one I was referring to. The race I was talking about is right around the 4 minute mark. Watch for the foul language.

A 35k civic type-r off the showroom floor would rape that thing on the track... and cost less.... disclaimer: I had a 91 Teg with a turbo kit and a gsr head...... bent a LCA going off turn 1 at Lime Rock.....

Maybe, but then you'd have to be seen in one of those horrible POS's.

The only thing the Civic R is missing is a huge Mugen sticker on the back window. Does Honda expect adults to buy this car?
And Tesla as a car company won’t exist in 5-6 years, writing is on the wall. First Musk gives himself a $2.5B payout. If they actually ramp up model 3 production, every financial analyst is advising investors to treat the stock bump as an exit strategy. Then there’s VW signing a $25B battery contract. A company that actually knows how to build a production line that’s efficient.

Doubtful anyone over 15 thinks it's good looking. Probably the biggest dud in the market right now, who gives a shit what the specs are.

? Funny, went to test drive one and was told were waiting for the next shipment. Paramus Honda sold all 5 they got. Have to agree about the looks, the funny thing is Honda tends to design cars that way. I remember when the 3rd gen tegs came out... people hated them, now they look ok.
Maybe not street cred, but there's certain cars that "car guys" buy.
Guys looking for a flashy car don't buy a Lotus. Car guys who want a gokart for the street buy one. Guys who want something flashy buy the Cayman.
Car guys buy the McClaren. People looking to pick up chicks or impress guys buy a Ferrari, Lamborghini or whatever.
Old retired guys buy Corvettes. Smart guys buy those garage queens 5 years later for 1/3 of the price and beat the shit out of them at the track.
"Guy" is the weirdest word in the english language and looks like the name of a fish to me.

How much were they marking the Rs up? They sell for close to 50k which is pretty absurd for a 37k sticker.
I'm surprised they even make them available for a test drive.

Thus, not a market failure..... the type-r is the best “hot hatch” without a any real option( please do not bring up the Focus RS, the head gasket/ carbon build up from DI are a fail). Bottom line, you have street cred with a type r imo.
