Those type r's are going to be monsters once the aftermarket gets going. Watch out!
Honda heads flow ridiculously well.

Raced a new Type R in my RS(Video), AND a GSXR 1000 in my Cobra

Despite all the hate, they have always had great engineering. They have always just marched to the beat of their own drum.

That is not even close to what Honda did here. They are actually advertising whp rather than the normal crank horsepower.

How much of the type R's motor is strung out, I know its a smaller displacement motor compared to the RS. 2.0 vs 2.3
Curious to know which motor will max out first.

I'd take the RS over the Type R everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. Not to take anything away from Honda though, they've done wonders with their smaller engines. To me the RS is way more appealing, already forced induction, awd and can make tons more power cheaper. The Type R is a badass car, expensive for a FWD car but they handle like their on rails. I just see the RS as a better overall value.
No he doesn't, and also doesn't realize how much power the Type R can make cheap also...
Limit on the RS has been 425whp and 400wtq.
Not many have popped purely from power, but there are a small group of cars blowing head gaskets and cracking blocks both stock and tuned.
Bad casting on the head they say

This is a completely uninformed post.
Honda parts and upgrades are cheap as dirt. The Type R is already turbo. Honda motors of this generation are incredibly strong. The S2k will take 500whp all day long on completely stock hardware. I dont doubt this motor will prove to be equally as strong.
The head on this car will outflow the RS by a country mile.
The 2 major knocks against this car IMO are the way it looks LOL and the fact that its FWD.
Both negatives are end all's for me.
It's too ugly in my eyes.
FWD is just a no no. I had a ST before my RS, and while I understand they aren't truly relatable (ST and type R), FWD can only be so good in the snow. Plus, not very much fun in the snow.
The way the RS can shoot out of low speed corners is nothing sort of wizardly. I love how it can just push the rear end out when you give it the sauce. It feels like a balanced rwd car. I don't care if it's slower than the type R on the Ring, it's more fun to me

I would be interested to see the data between both. Cosworth designed the head on the RS, and they aren't really strangers when it comes to making power with 4 bangers.
Time will tell i suppose.
sounds like the dude on the bike cannot ride tbh....my Ninja 1000 would do all of 90+ in 1st gear......
He seemed like a cool dude.
Wasn't riding with gear or a helmet though. Shifted at ok speed.
Had it been longer than 60-130 I think he would have passed

wasnt riding with a helmet...? sounds squid-tastic
NH rules.
Which was funny, because he had MA plates and said he came from MA. So was quite a risk

whoops, I didn't know the Type R was a turbo car from the factory. I guess I'm used to their old adage of naturally aspirated.
Still, I'd take the RS a million times over. The AWD and looks(which is subjective) make the difference to me. I seen a local Type R sell for 63k, I don't think the RS was bringing that kind of money, that's why I said what I said about the money in my "uninformed" post above.lol

I bought my RS for MSRP.
But I've seen some go for 3-5k over in the beginning

The new aluminum 2.5 in the RS3 and TTRS will give either of those motors a good run. But then again I am severely biased.
