[@paulallen8109]

What "people" ?? The most successful racing engine in Indycar was a 4 cylinder (Offenhauser), the most powerful ever Formula 1 engine was a 4 cylinder (BMW M10 with limitless turbo boost in 1986). In WRC rally virtually all winning cars the past 40 years have bee 4 cylinder (minus the 5 cylinder Audi Quattro). And then we haven't even mentioned all the touring car championships (WTCC, BTCC, Italian Superturismo, French Supertouring, STCC, etc) And the most reliable car ever in the Guinness Book of Records is a Volvo P1800 owned by Irv Gordon. He drove it for 5,3 million kilometers from 1966 to 2018 (when Irv Gordon died). The Volvo P1800 is powered by the very reliable B18 engine... which is... a 4-cylinder engine.

Berk Karataş Please check what did VW. They removed rear seats and air con. So, they cheat big time. Where is Honda, just compensate the weight of adding roll g cage for safety and remove rear seats and entertainment system , to make the same weight as before. So, VW is suck big time. Don't protect them, just because you like VW more then Honda. Type-R simply is much better machine

[@josephyang8236]

Nothing surprising, just another example of really good engineering by Honda.

[@josephyang8236]

Hey, I understand you feel cheated (I'm a fellow 9th gen Si owner as well) but to be clear, Si models are developed by HPD which is a subsidiary of Honda North America and has VERY little to do with the actual Honda R&D in Japan. I don't know your age and your field of profession, but engineering is a decision making process to solve problems (or achieve goals.. and in the industry, such goals are often defined by the marketing department. In the end, companies need to make profit). Just because the Si can't beat a 10th base model, it doesn't mean it's not engineered well. Take it to a local autocross or racetrack to find out what I mean. It's not perfect but with some minor tweaks here and there, the 9th gen Si can be a very capable car.

@@nunyabusiness896 Fair enough on the fact they're not standard, but as far as I'm aware they're options. So, if they're road legal I don't see why they'd be unfair or impractical. I can see why they're a bit on the cheat side here, on a track where these tires are best within legal road limits, but if they're road legal (even if impractical), it's the owners decision. Definitely agree on the option fact. Can't deny that they're not the stock tyres. But, if it's an option, it's part of the car so I can understand why they used them. It'd be a different story if they were tyres you couldn't even option.

[@nunyabusiness896]

@@kacperziajka7920 I don't think they are an option. These DOT-legal slicks would be almost dangerous on public roads and don't grip well without being at elevated (race) temperatures. The point still stands that it's an extreme advantage to be on tires like that and if you're going to claim a record, other OEMs should get a run on the same tires. IMO all car comparisons should be done on equal tires.
