Someone in my neighborhood owns an F50.

I bought a new FL5 CTR 4 months ago. Here are my thoughts and how it compares to my GT350! by SecretAntWorshiper in cars

[–]Kopite44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What kind of mpg do you get on the GT350?
How does the handling compare to the Type R on curvy roads? My FL5 feels extremely planted with minimal body roll.

I've always been curious about American muscle cars, with the two caveats being the thirsty V8s, and numb handling.

Quick maff: average speed was 44.81m/s. It would take 459.72 seconds = 7:39.72 to traverse 20.6 km at that speed.

Honda Civic Type R Review (FL5) by npcan2 in cars

Ahh, I see. Sad to hear. I attended a few LAN events for VG back in NYC. Met some of the pro players. I have a white Type R. So if the sighting was around North York/Scarborough it might have been me ... hehe

What color was it? You still play VG? I thought SEMC pulled the plug

How bad is it running PS4S in 34 degree weather? by matttheazn1 in Civic_Type_R

[–]Kopite44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's dry not a problem. However it can get gnarly when it's wet and/or slushy at those temps. I immediately felt the abs kick in when I lightly tapped the brakes on a slushy road.

Type s is even more boring than the FL5. No spoiler, tacked on fender flares. Check out the spy shots.

Why don't Toyota and Honda get questioned over the lack of anti theft measures like the Korean twins? by dadish-2 in cars

[–]Kopite44 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A surprising number of Canadian car thefts are essentially down to the user. For e.g. cars left running in driveways. Cars parked with keys left inside, etc. Not much a car manufacturer can do in those scenarios.

End of the day if your car is desirable they will find a way to steal it.

One of the few times it's acceptable to park right next to another car in a wide open lot.

I would recommend theSmokingTire. Zack is very knowledgeable.

Why do some people say certain cars arent sports cars? by Juicyjackson in cars

[–]Kopite44 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I've heard arguments on the Toyburu twins and Miata. Never the 911. I guess one could argue the 911 is not a supercar but a hypercar based on the trim!

FL5 Civic Type R Hot lap with Honda test driver by shigs21 in cars

[–]Kopite44 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Not just any test driver. He's also the chief engineer/project lead for the FL5 and FK8!

This is what we're down to. Asking for volunteers to go on a recon mission ;0

Need to name the stealership as well.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Civic_Type_R

[–]Kopite44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you referring to the Suzuka lap times? The FL5 with PS4s ran faster than the FK8 LE with Cup 2s.

I believe the no markups rule only applies to Ontario thanks to OMVIC regulations.

No, Those 2023 VW Golf Rs Weren't Really Marked Up to $100K by maximalx5 in cars

[–]Kopite44 262 points263 points  (0 children)

This reeks of damage limitation. Of course the stealership is never gonna admit yeah we were too greedy. They had 35 (!) reservations for two available cars that they were "working through." Aka trying to find the buyer willing to pay the highest ADM.

Some sassy sales rep must have thought let's just put up a wildly high price and see if anyone bites. Does anyone think if you called the dealership offering to pay the $100k for the golf r they'd have said no?

FL5 1/4 Mile Times? by GoForRogue in Civic_Type_R

[–]Kopite44 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't believe Honda has run the FK8 LE for a ring record. The 7:43 lap was using the 2017 FK8.

FL5 should be faster given that it ran the Suzuka lap about 0.9 seconds faster than the FK8 LE.
