@SuperIppokun i know the R26R wears semi slicks from factory, while the type R wears custom sports road tyres from factory...either way, considering the honda was NA and the renault was turbo, it shows the amazing engineering that went into the civic...

They should use Mugen RR in this race

Make that around 30bhp less.

[jp5000bc]

Considering the fact that the FD2 has rear seats, glass windows, AC and over 30bhp you would think there might have been more of a gap. The increased wheel base seems to make the FD2 quicker in the faster corners too:) + sticking a SC or a Turbo on a Honda would be a travesty. :-P

@antonis626 yes, your friend also sucks cock, no French cars will ever compare to Japanese engineering and quality. thats why it needed a turbo, less doors and race wheels to beat it..

Muggen RR / JCW GP / R26R wouldbe sick

We don't know if the Mégane has the track pack with Toyo R888 in this battle.

@antonis626 Actually the fact that the R26R is turbocharged and has track tyres and still had trouble outperforming a the NA Civic Type R on street tyres is very disappointing. All the Type R needs to kick the R28R's butt is a set of the same tyres the Megane is on. It doesn't even need equal horsepower. -_-

Civic sounds better, has four doors hence a proper four seat, beautifully engineered engine, will be more reliable compared to french reliability and its more user friendly, its not a hardcore track car like the megane, civic FTW

[taka1997taka]

Which do you like better, civic or mini?

[just206]

I'm impressed the fd2 was pretty much the same performance as the r26r as the Hondas n/a and not turbocharged like the Renault imagine how bad it would kick that meganas fat ass of it had a charger stuck on it :)
