  1. Raiti's Ride preview of the 2023 Civic Type R prototype (close-up walkaround)

    Remember, the Suzuka record previous was set by the limited edition, not the base 10th gen CTR. So would have the weight reduction, tires and revised spring/shock dampening that the 11th gen base CTR record shouldn't have. But we really don't have any details of the record setting car so the car...
  2. 2023 Civic Type R Full Reveal Coming July 20!

    At least there's some actual insider/reps that are actually giving dates and not random snippets from anonymous internet rumors which get constantly posted. July 20th seems like a weird date though if the California part is correct there's no major road race event I'm aware of to tie it to (NTT...
  3. Late Development Speculation

    Don't think you understand what passive aggressive means. You're simply not comprehending the difference between substantiated and unsubstantiated information. Nothing you're stating is substantiated with any basis from Honda or even rumorville, it's just something you made up. That's not even...
  4. Late Development Speculation

    Interesting this is the second time you've slapped a passing judgement when it's simply about a very minor level accuracy. It's cool to speculate, I get it. But you both are speculating in the weeds where nothing remotely close to actual is ever going to be found. With all the changes from the...
  5. Late Development Speculation

    Did Honda ever really push the record into your face? I never saw a Honda marketing flier touring Nurburgring status. I did see a bunch of media pushing it and the community latching onto it. But depending upon which record you're concerned about, the FWD one is gone and completely owned by the...
  6. Late Development Speculation

    There's a massive difference between actually 'trying' (actual testing) vs rampant speculation (attaching the entire performance track time benefit to a single attribute with no actual understanding). I'm highlighting just how silly it is to make the claims you're trying to make in hopes further...
  7. Late Development Speculation

    Where is the rampant speculation coming from about any extra tire width automatically gives you copious amounts of time and only in the positive? Again, this really seems like spec sheet racing without any actual real world knowledge or racing experience. With a performance alignment and ~3...
  8. New CTR vs '21 CTR LE

    Such strange and extreme speculation. So you went in looking for series of turns where you're measuring the speeds prior to shifting? Though keep in mind if you apply more mid-range, you end up faster on any given straight with the same peak output and same weight/aero. Keeping in mind these are...
  9. Late Development Speculation

    Look at the video again, you see quite a handful of turns where the car is understeer skipping along (lap time 0:26, 0:37, 1:09, 1:22) with one right sweeper turn where the car heavily understeered into the corner (0:57) where the car goes into compression during a braking zone. Though not going...
  10. Late Development Speculation

    Unfortunately that's not how it works on the manufacturer side. You can do that in the aftermarket but can't do that as the OEM. They're worried about a .5 decrease in MPG, and 20ppm increase in emissions as they're paying a 'usage fee' for their entire brand's carbon footprint in many...
  11. Late Development Speculation

    I highly doubt that Honda was waiting to see final specs from a semi-competitor car in order to determine their own final specs of their own car. There's simply not enough time to do the track and internal testing then re-submitting vehicles to appropriate testing authorities once you start...
  12. Late Development Speculation

    Infotainment is already done as that's part of the launch OS platform. Exhaust note is pretty much done except modified via a tune, not the hardware. Interior is already done. None of that is easily changed within the last months. Shock dampening and rebound curves via electronic control? Easy...
  13. All New 2023 Civic Type R Sets New Suzuka Circuit Lap Record! 🏁

    AWD will 'solve' the internet cry for faster 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. Because the internet believes FWD has no benefits and everyone drives in snow/marshland. It doesn't understand FWD is how the CTR pulls away from a Golf R (maybe not the Mk8 with it's heavily under rated HP) on a track...
  14. MSRP Only Dealerships For 2023 Civic Type R

    Ultimately for the last go round what was the situation for CA folks? Have to go out of state for MSRP? Been trying all the Bay Area ones and getting $5-20k markup numbers estimated. The ones that are willing to take a refundable deposit are $5k markups though.
  15. Late Development Speculation

    Car still isn't even announced. You're unlikely to see suspension or engine redesigns or big bodywork changes but they're still tweaking spring rates, shock dampening curves, the adjustable damper and steering rates, the last few iterations of sway bars, fuel/boost maps more for efficiency and...
