Whilst I am not a fan of the CTR, (The nemesis of the Punto GT) don't play with one that has had a charger bolted on. That is 350 / 400hp power in semi race tuned chassis.

If you ever get the chance to drive or be driven in one, be prepared to have a grin ear to ear.

One of the guys i know has one and on the 1/4 mile it hits a terminal speed of 126mph! Now that is quick! Rubbish off the line tho! Just in standard road trim!

You guys that have raced Type Rs and one in Cupras I need to get myself down your part of the world, put a few Type R notches on my belt! Cause up here people can drive them!

I had a new shape Type-R keeping up with me on a duel carriageway a couple of weeks ago but he couldnt get past.
Thats why more mods are now required, next time i'll blow him off in style.

normally after racing someone i just give them the thumbs up, but i'm drawing the line at blowing someone off ! sorry mate couldn't resist it. :lol::whistle::rolleyes:

Mate, if you see a Red 05 plate LCR round your way, with a small front number plate, have a go at that one (that'll be me). My bird lives in Rainham and i'm down there quite a bit..
One thing though, if you manage to stay even with me, i'll drive mine into the nearest wall.. :blink: Sorry, but won't happen.. Nearly 100bhp down in pretty much the same car.. How's that possible?:confused:

Normal Civic Type R for me was no biggie - I had the edge...

....But a week back - I had a run with a Integra DC5 (Type R) - These things are 220Bhp standard...!

Boy it was quick..!!!

Well - We both gave it our best on 2 good runs on a dual carriage-way....

1st run - I started behind him - But I couldn't get past.

2nd run - From the lights - I was infront - But he couldn't get past me... but then at the same time... I couldn't pull away from him either...

His car had an exhaust system... so maybe only slightly modded (but my LCR is totally standard and I wasn't even running Super Un-Leaded - lol)

I have pulled on a normal Civic Type R before... but this was definately faster...

strugers, it doesnt make any sense. at the end of the day your sig shows 182bhp, if you come up against a mapped LCR with a decent driver pushing 260-270 you ARE going to get completely destroyed there is no doubt about it.

Scrapyard please!
This post is really starting to annoy me, i don't know about anyone else!
Some crazy claims and some mad stories! Take it to the track girls and guys and put it down on paper!
