[@reveregreist3495]

Doug, thanks for the actually fairly balanced review of a car you obviously don't love. The only nitpick I'd offer is that the wing, despite "flopping around" when you close the hatchback, can still make downforce. To wit: 1) check out the "floppy" wings on F1 cars in recent seasons. 2) simply by lowering pressure behind the car, the wing could be helping the diffuser under the car work better. I raced a formula car for years and this was something we focused on: not just the wing producing downforce, but its integration into the comprehensive aero approach for the car. Just FYI. Please keep the reviews coming!

[@PSNcharlie97]

I can tell you something for certain: the aerodynamic design of a formula car, of any kind, will have tons more impact on that car's performance than whatever little DRS-style flaps you attach to a Honda Civic. On a basic level, the aero kit on a Civic isn't producing much downforce - particularly not relative to the amount of weight the car itself is putting on the tires. Although a DRS-style system would certainly make a big impact on a car with a more focused aerodynamic concept - say, a hypercar like the Valkyrie, whose entire design concept is founded on leveraging Venturi tunnels and a simple rear wing for backend downforce - it has little to no impact on a car like the Civic. I'm 100% sure that if you strip the Civic Type R's aero pieces off of it, the performance with everything else identical will be the same, if not better thanks to all of that lost weight.

[@centuryhelix8727]

Torque steer is caused from a difference in length of cv axles. it's really hard to get a car with a larger transaxel engine to not have disproportionally uneven axles in the front, which nets a difference in parasitic loss of each wheel, producing torque steer. That's why it is way more common in FWD cars

ring times aren't impressive and probably are inconsistent diffrent drivers different road conditions diffrent tires not all the shifts were 100% perfect the ring is a like a math problem with 160 variables also subarus ra got under 7 minutes (i can't speak for ford but hey, the rs has a drift mode)

[@jamelickstaff4252]

Nimdonomuskid ring times are impressive its just when a Honda civic kills it everyone bases ring times like they dont matter. The ring is the longest and most physically demanding track used for performance testing. Yes they use different drivers but they are all hired professionals paid to do one thing, set the fastest production lap in whatever car. Most lap times are warm summer days where tires will have more grip. Each car must use the OEM tire which have to bee street legal. It's a 7 - 8 min long track with a fast car, obviously every shift won't be 100%. And its was the STI Type RA NBR which is not even street legal that set a time of 6:57

[@Nightslayer777777777]

For the run, Honda used a pre-production model, which is said to have been "technically representative of production specification". The car had a full floating roll cage for safety reasons, which did not provide any additional rigidity to the body frame according to Honda, and to compensate for the added weight, the rear seats and Display Audio system were removed. Moreover, the Nurburgring record for front-wheel drive production cars was achieved using street legal, track-focused tires. Not bashing it, but just mentioning that it wasn't even a production car that beat the time..

thats just bs, you are not a car enthusiast if youre not willing to explain your hobby to others. How shall new comers get into this when everyone would think like you did... @Rain Norris: rice means Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements but the meaning has expanded to absurd performance mods like a huge exhaust system for your 4 cyl, that doesnt even produce enough exhaust to use it or adding a giant wing on the back, that is not designed for your car and so does not add any downforce but adds air resistance making your car actually go slower. It has become a meme for overtuned absurd modded cars that shall look like race cars but are modded cheap and dont perform. People even started to call bad paintjobs or a bad fitting bodykit "rice" just because it was a bad job done, something a race car would never have because money is not an issue there. just google for more info. ;)

[@boostlee876]

Can’t possibly take this review seriously when you’re complaining about things that you simply don’t understand or are intentionally giving misinformation about. The 3rd/center exhaust pipe aids in resonance control to remove cabin drone at speed and it works. Criticizing the aero on the hatch that stomped its competition into the dirt because you don’t realize most wing aero flexes or the fact the vortex generators work by creating turbulence for the wing. This isn’t a review it’s just a bunch of whining.

[@ClayChapman0]

Damn Doug, who hurt you? I get that you're allowed to be critical as a critic but you're a car guy for god's sake, why are you bashing Aero components on a car designed for racing on a track? "What are these things??" They're called vortex generators, and they are on the roof to funnel air to the spoiler. Yes, a FWD track car has a spoiler because, as a car enthusiast you should know this, *weight transfer* exists. And I love how you *only* mentioned the fake vents and never even bothered to explain the functional vents for the hood and for the wheel wells. Sure, let's talk performance. A FWD car has a slower launch than AWD cars, wow thanks for that insight. It is a full second slower, but you even fail to mention that on the Nurburgring it is almost 15 seconds faster than the Focus RS and the STi. Honda did not build this car with straight-line speed in mind, maybe that's why the didn't feel the need to tout it as a selling point to you.

It's easy to criticise and talk shit even if you don't know all the facts.
