You can see in YouTube videos that closeup of the hood vent has some gaps revealing white paint.

Lol. Yeah, it's been wrapped for too long. But it is confirmed for a full reveal on the 20th so that we knew already. This is a really good look at the body curves, spoiler mounting closeup, and confirm some more functional vents. Some pictures are also on Facebook.

There it is! I'm really excited! Take my Money Honda!!! Lol. Chassis code confirmed! FL5. (NOTE: HPJ put this on IG post but in his YouTube video, he said he's only guessing. So not officially confirmed)

I think to rephrase it as @KoukiVAB said about respect. It's not so much that they're cheating...not like it's an actual competition event. I think that's exactly it that I respect Honda keeping it close to stock in hitting the record. If they did the same with a track version, I would really...

Interesting. I did see that LE had more wheel hop in some reviews but still turned out a better time on those tracks. 2023 was 0.9s faster than LE at suzuka. That seems really promising to me in setting a new FWD record. It would easily beat the 2017 CTR time at minimum.

I think it's fine as a two seater FWD hatch record. But functionally it's no longer in the same category as a hot hatch that carries 4-5 people. Would be curious what CTR LE can do officially on the Ring. It only lost some minor functions and has done well against standard CTR on many tracks...

Wow. I knew they made some changes but that's just stupid to claim a record. My thoughts: - hoping the smoother lines and molded body means better top speed from lower drag on long straights - I'm fairly certain they've tweaked suspension, wheels, tires, etc. to achieve higher corner exit...

Exactly what I've been fighting. I've been looking for a replacement car for a long time. Has to be easy on maintenance, handles like a proper driver's car, but also versatile and somewhat comfortable enough for kids on some of our rough streets. There are definitely plenty of fast cars that...

It's hard not to compare track times. I do agree there's a lot more factors involved in getting good track times. But I would like to have some level of comparison between generations. I do also intend to take it to the track like I did with my K20A swapped Acura EL that I've had to part ways...

Hurry up Honda and take my money!!! Lol Also, I really want to know the track time for the claimed fastest Type R ever. Wonder if "coming this summer" means summer delivery. That'd be really nice to get some driving in before winter hits.

I'm in Canada, called up the dealer where I'm on the list in Oakville. Some takeaways... - They're expecting 4 cars this year based on previous years (or maybe for this model year...didn't clarify) - They have 15 people on the list now - Cars get allocated one by one, not all in the beginning...

That I'm not sure. But I think they only do that with their inventory. If it's a custom order like how these will be, it should theoretically get delivered in factory form... hopefully.

I put down my deposit with Oakville Honda. They confirmed it will be MSRP as they claim they're not allowed to mark-up the price. They provided no details, especially since it was a few months ago. I was there second person. $1000 deposit. Mississauga Honda wanted $2000 at the time and wouldn't...

Everyone will have their opinions and preferences. One thing that I see happening is that car makers will change design drastically over time to target a slightly different group with different preferences. Many will love the FK8 for a long time and others that wanted all the FK8 performance...

Man. This does not sound good. I mean it's a much improved vehicle in many aspects and the pandemic supply chain is not helping so I'd expect prices to go up but that's a fair bit. To put things into perspective, 2021 Type R was priced at 48k CAD. Don't recall if that was with or without all...

Wow...that's insane markup! It seems to be still a year away! Feel bad for anyone that has to deal with that.

Thanks @TypeSiR Man that's a long wait. Looks like US release was mid June 2017 and deliveries took a while but that was pre-pandemic. Hopefully we'll actually see it in 2022

Yeah. Sound of that exhaust could have been made completely different for cars shipped to NA if anything but they didn't. Maybe they just didn't make enough changes from the previous European generations. But let's not bother us with these details. Let's just all enjoy that improved exhaust...

I'm in Canada and put my deposit a good month ago. I'm second in line at that dealer. It's all dealer's rules so call around. One wanted 2K deposit and was vague about length of the list, the other wanted 1K and was transparent. I'd do my research for US dealers, some had less extreme markups...

Music to my ears!!! This is awesome! I'm all about getting more out of things I own but I have a feeling I'll be leaving this car untouched for at least a couple years before adding power. They've really resolved most of the complaints from previous gen! Honda. If you're reading this. Good...
