The answer is yes, yes it does compare. And some of these answers you're getting I don't agree with. Yes, preferences are subjective. Someone said they prefer their M3 to a 992, and I almost spit water all over my keyboard (edit- I didn't realize at the time this was referencing an E46 and my...

You sure you didn't just stall? Not sure what I'm reading here... from your description it seems like you did not experience catastrophic engine failure? And yeah, a possible explanation for OPs absence is pending litigation. Starting to wonder now if it wasn't just a troll...

The funny thing is, I'm not even mad the dealer techs don't know this. Installing aftermarket parts and then relying on the dealer to troubleshoot just makes their lives so much harder. One would think they should probably know that the FL5 only has one fan, especially since they're basically...

My philosophy is that you just can't get mad at the car or the manufacturer if it doesn't start acting up until after you start screwing around with it. Also this is why I don't want to modify my cars. I've been burned before too, but I didn't place blame on the dealer for it. :dunno:

Disclaimer: I have a DE5 but I've had mine out for multiple 15-20 minute sessions on an 80 degree day, no overheating issues at all here either. I know overheating issues are happening in these cars but I'm not sure the "require" and "at a minimum" qualifiers are really warranted.... but I am...

Looks like the ADM ship has finally sailed, because Pohanka wouldn't BUDGE as recently as a few months ago. Last year they wanted $15k over and didn't get back to me when I even offered $5k over... Beautiful car.

POTD.

There's one right now, and actually zero trashing the FL5. But plenty of trashing of FL5 owners who are triggered over the ADM they paid. :stirthepot:

Absolutely, 100% this. I love my ITS because it's a true do-it-all car. It is my daily, and my track car, and it does both equally well (despite not having the CTR seats, if you can believe it). Not that it is a terrible option, but I don't see the point in mandating a sedan if you don't have...

These ADM discussions are pretty interesting. I almost paid an ADM, ironically it would have been $5k over. I actually got in a huge fight with my wife over it, because she called me an idiot for even thinking about it. She was abso-fucking-lutely right. The literal interpretation of an ADM is...

I wouldn't have even looked in the FL5/DE5 direction if the RS3 was available in manual. But the funny part is, I vastly prefer the driving dynamics of the DE5, after having owned one for a while. RS3 is still fast AF though, no denying that. And sounds incredible to boot. CTxV Blackwing then...

Any thread with an ITS in the title on this board hits 2 pages instantaneously. When there really isn't all that much to talk about. 1st of all, no one should ever buy a car they don't want. /thread, TBH. You clearly don't like the car, WHY the f would you spend actual money on it? 2nd of all...

A quick glance at my post history can validate that I enjoy good and bad discussions just about equally lol... and sometimes it takes a couple posts to truly sus that out (although I was instantly galvanized with the ADX comment...). And I certainly enjoyed literally laughing out loud when...

Let's call a spade a spade. I've never been one to mince words. "Hammeredsole" is a salty ex-owner that REPLACED HIS TYPE R WITH A CRV and has thoughts he likes to share. I think we can mostly agree that his opinions don't fall far from pure troll territory. I totally missed the "fox body...

Ok. You replaced it with a CRV Hybrid and think it's a better car. Great context. edit- And for anyone still paying attention, the OP has long checked out of this thread. There are no rails anymore; dude had 2 posts and both were in this thread...

Yeah to each their own. I couldn't be bothered with a G80, I don't view it as a sports car even though I realize it's very capable. So yeah, "refined" could be a word for that... I just can't reconcile having a G80 and an FL5. Just doesn't make sense to me unless you have fuck you money to take...

^Interesting point about the 911, I'll take the opportunity to go off-topic for a bit. This might just be your OCD. A 991.2 C2S is a spectacular sports car that I'd argue is in a completely different league as a driver's car over the G80 M3. And the Porsche CPO warranty is as good (or better)...

Wife's car.

Can't tell if trolling, honestly. This take is so bad. Especially on a Type R forum lol. But I'll take the bait. Before I'd even get into asking what specifically you'd recommend for a "proper sports car" that is "truly weekend worthy"... how are you going to trash the engine and then tell the...
