I previously owned a 2018 RR FK8 and enjoyed that vehicle a great deal and was so impressed I purchased a 2021 CTR LE. Initially I did not want to put too many miles on #126 as it was my intention to purchase a new FL5 and daily drive it but after looking at the crazy pricing and reading about...

Appreciate your timely and mature response as it pretty much speaks for itself! Time to move on.

Being an older automotive enthusiast but more importantly a grandfather of 3 young boys who are just getting into these cool cars and end up spending time on automotive forums such as CIVIC XI, it is very disappointing to observe profanity and four letter language such as the above in order to...

That was exactly my point as a previously poster commented about how bad the heat soak/over heating issue was for the 1st Gen FK8's going into limp mode but was only a factor when attending HPDE's and not a factor otherwise. On the other hand when looking at what Ford went through with center...

Understood but never experienced your issue when I owned my 2018 CTR and I drove in some real intense heat in the Southeast.

I get that a very small percentage of FK8's overheated most of which were all track related, but for the majority of the U.S. owners who purchased 1 of the ~19,000+ 1st generation FK8's who did not track their vehicles that was not an issue and that includes myself who drove the crap out of my...

Well said and totally agree about the Honda/Acura driving experience as have owned many various models over the last 35 years including a 2018 RR CTR that my wife drove more than I did as she is an outstanding driver and understands all the great attributes of the CTR.. Back in 1987 when Acura...

Based on the fact that the FK8 LE is lighter due to a few delete items and comes with much grippier OEM Cup 2 tires and lightweight Japanese BBS aluminum forged wheels this automotive review does not surprise me that the FL5 is slower in acceleration, has less lateral grip and requires increased...

With you wanting to have a 4-seat vehicle obviously that takes the Boss 302 Laguna Seca out of the running and leaves the CTR FK8 and a 2012/2013 Boss 302 Base model. If your high end budget is ~$50,000 I am not sure that an FL5 would be attainable at that price point, but if you were able to...

Terrific question but after thinking about your question a great deal I am not sure that I could pick one vehicle over the other as they are like day and night and there are just too many variables to consider such as the following. Is your question centered around comparing a 2-seat Boss 302...

Very nice and like you have been down that same road with respect to keeping our marrigages in tact as had nine 2012/2013 Boss 302/LS cars in my stable back in the day but finally had to cut the herd loose including these 3 Pilot Production examples. Pretty cool picture of 3 LE's all in the...

I recall chassis USA-001 which was assembled in August 2020 and USA-003 which was built in September 2020 and remember thinking how beautiful those Phoenix Yellow LE's were and aside from the many unique and lightweight features on the LE model and especially liked the Japanese built BBS wheels...

Totally understand your thoughts as had been mulling around that same mind set for quite some time and finally made the decision to go forward with another LE. Being a passionate wheel and tire guy along with many other aspects of a HP vehicle, just the specially built and terrific looking...

Like yourself I really like Blue CTR's therefore the Aegean Blue and Boost Blue looks terrific but ultimately the Phoenix Yellow examples have become my favorite. Aside from the cool Phoenix Yellow color, I really like the lightweight BBS forged aluminum wheel and Cup 2 tire combination as...

For between $50K and $60K it makes sense to look for a low production, very rare, unique, lighter and extremely quick 2021 FK8 LE that still has reasonable mileage.

Totally agreed that the FK8 model provides us automotive enthusiasts with outstanding driving experiences and just love the driving engagement that comes with all FK8's and no question it will be the same or possibly even be better with the FL5? For those who cannot locate an allocation for an...

With your tires being produced during late December 2020 I am guessing that your 2021 LE was assembled in Swindon sometime in the early Spring of 2021 and wondering what your chassis number is? As you can see my Cup 2 tires were produced in September 2020 with my vehicle being built in...

Agreed regarding a daily driver but keep in mind that there are numerous different versions of Cup 2 tires (~8) offered by Michelin with some models coming with a harder compound than some others thus a much longer mileage life and may appeal to some daily driver enthusiasts. Take for instance...

Certainly agree with all your comments but again I had no issues with respect to getting a Ford service department order a set of Cup 2 tires for my 2015 GT350 and was very happy that the removal of the old tires, mounting of new tires, balancing and wheel alignment all went very well. After...
