Nipped in again from the MK2's!
Gubbed another new style Type R this morning. We were in a traffic tail back. The q in the lane I was in was moving about 2 foot per minute faster than the next lane. I knew he was trying though as I heard the VTEC kick in when he revved and he was right up to the windscreen gripping the wheel with his hands.
Another Type R driver with a small penis
By any chance was ths the White one with white alloys driven by an Indian guy?
The exhaust he had was upswept a little also?

I know a particularly competitive chap with a standard '03 CTR. When I next see him I'll show him my dyno results and take the psychological victory 
Tiff drove both and there was a second between them. Top gear there is less than a second between them i believe. Add some arbs to a Leon and i honestly believe you have a brilliant handling car.
I had a little confrontation with a guy that looked 14 in a civic type r, Left him for dust off the line and he was trying real hard but he suddenly came to a stand still later found out at the next set of lights he chucked it into 1st instead of 3rd, Ouch! hahahhahah what a gimp! These kids will bite of more than they can chew! I was very much relaxed about the confrontation and not one to chav it up reving at the lights but something comes over you as we all know, but he got a bit flustered and minced the gears! My wheel nuts require more torque than that honda makes come to mind!

Not quite 'the end'. Where does it say "who's been up against a Civic Type R on the track"?the stigg on top gear did a lap 1 second quicker in a ctr so there faster on a track......................... thee END
Civics rule the tracks, but the Leon is the king of the road. Seeing as the road is where the majority of both breeds live, the Leon is the car for me.
I just like to point out that a Civic at peak torque is doing what my car does at 2250rpm. The Leon brigade would rarely lose a game of Top Trumps at least!
A couple of days ago i went up against a CTR, and i must admit it did have the edge
well that was until he lost control about 90 - 100 on a slip road and ended up in the grass.
they may have the edge but they dont look very stable (back end looks very twitchy)

If you read from the start, you'll see that a few have been against Type R's on the track, and the outcome has not always ended in the civic 'whooping' the LCR.
Opinions are all well and good, but you cant convince others who have raced them on the track. The Civics are still difficult to keep on the boil even on the track.
Unless your used to the car, and the track, they're often no faster then the rest of the hot hatchs which attend trackdays.
My Derv certainly has never been touched by a type r, so a well driven lcr will be fine.
