Woo hoo i'll be there a week come sunday

[ollieandserena]

hey is that marham in norfolk near kings lynn ?

[ouibl]

Certainly is ;) Mine is the Silver ATR

[spoonlamp]

I agree - the silver ATR defintely sounds sweet as a nut! It rocks!

[ouibl]

Just goes to show its not all about straight line power.

[lewis72]

I don't get the appeal of the Honda Accord Type R. It's just a revvy 4-cylinder hatchback. Whoop! The Lotus Carlton must have gettin on for double the power to weight ratio.

[EdLeake]

Some of the most advanced suspension, factory fit LSD and a braced and stiffened (40% over stock) chassis make it one of the best FF handling cars around. 210-220hp at 7,500rpm make it rather fun and quick also.

To be fair you'd have to find a lot of straight pieces of road for a Lotus Carlton to out run an Accord R, the Carlton is just far to heavy and clumsy.

[lewis72]

I suppose it's down to personal taste but I think that FWD cars have their traction comprimised. How many FWD cars can hit 60 in less than 6 seconds? If you're going to go down te out-right handling route you'd be better off with an Elise or such like.

[EdLeake]

I understand where you're coming from however take a look at my videos, I can get my standard Accord R to hit 60 in UNDER 6 seconds... not bad considering. We know there's more to a car then it's 0-60 figure anyhow. :)

[lewis72]

Of course there is. I just have a liking for fast saloons Lotus Carlton, XJR, M5.

[H22A7]

All of those cars mentioned received 5 stars from Evo magazine, as does the Accord Type R

[ouibl]

Thats my Silver Accord, nice video.

[penroser]

Wow what a sound, of the accord...

[H22A7]

That silver Accord Type R sounds fantastic and is quiiiiiiiiick :o)
