I totaly agree with you! This is why I think is more a marketing stunt more than anything else. Type R target market are hot headed, driven by passion. It will trigger urgency for many.
All this makes no sens...feels like a marketing stun from a salesguy to create "urgency". If is true. I'll wait for the economy to make its wonder with high interest rates. ;)
as many have pointed out, age is not a factor. For me, having a Type R is a dream that I want to materialize, regardless of my age. This machine can provide 80% of what expensive sport cars can provide for a fraction of the price. To me this is what matters.
I'm not surprise. Consedering the backlog, what is important is delivery ($$$) to make investors happy.
Regardless, contact Honda USA, I'm sure they will help.
Tuner have done 370HP with a conservative setup. Ariel Atom has a 350HP K20C setup (https://www.arielna.com/arielatom/#). If Honda wants to end the gasoline era with a bang and crush the Ring record, I guess 350hp is a minimum.
Your team has data showing the need of the item for the 11th generation engines? I'm still skeptical about the need of this product...can you share info/data that support the time/money invested?
Many thanks!
