So....who managed to order a Type S?

[Gregg]

Interesting given the other 11th-gen Civics all go capless. I wonder if it's due to the CTR being manufactured in Japan and maybe that's the spec there. I'm not putting money on it but, for economies of scale, I can't imagine the 'Teg's capless system would be swapped out given that the ITS shares a production line with the other trim levels. Plus the newly posted '24 Integra Owners Manual does reference the 2.0l model (ie. the ITS), but only shows a capless system.



I would have thought a real journalist like Joe Raiti would have told us if he had to remove a cap before testing how many Twinkies the gas tank would hold.

What is the cause for the fuel neck cracking? Does it have anything to do with the cap?

The ctr and TypeS have a different fuel tank.
Lol. Yeah Joe needs to test sticking his Twinkie in other spots.

Hello, first post for me!

Put a deposit on my ITS on Oct. 20th 2022, before car was announced. I'm of course the first on the list of my dealer here in Quebec. We are also super lucky to not have any mark ups.

I'm supposed to get my white ITS somewhere in June. Can't wait!

Dealer pretty confident in June??

My dealer seems very confident that the demo is this month & all 5 of their allocations should be beginning-mid June (although I'm sure subject to change per Acura) & that is all they are getting for the rest of the year.

 

[DukeFrisbee]

I have no reason to doubt your dealer nor do I have a shred of insider knowledge but common sense suggests that I would be very skeptical of them being "very confident". There are roughly 250 or so Acura dealers in the US so why would Acura seed each of them the 4-6 cars most of them seem to be getting in June - then be incapable of delivering any more for the next 6 months. That's like 1,500 cars ready to go soon, then done? I seriously doubt that.

Interesting drag strip results on the FL5

Unimpressive results which could be from many factors but, the CTR should be capable of mid 13’s @ 106. Interesting for sure….

I have a couple suggestions for him.

Fwd manual I find it acceptable. For the price high 11s or low 12s should be expected

 

[Grelco]

Here's a list of cars that ran a slower ring time. 0-60 is meaningless for most cars, but especially true for the CTR.

The CTR’s recorded time was impressive but, for comparison sake, were all those vehicles running a special Michelin sport cup 2 (r compound) tire with special tuning and several deleted features, like A/C for example?

I would have preferred Honda run the standard CTR rather than some ‘special’ edition version.

[Grelco]

Yeah, they're all on Cup 2s or Trofeo R or some other extreme tire. And everyone juices the car a little bit for the ring laps. I don't think what Honda did was very egregious personally. They allegedly shortened 6th gear a little, but otherwise pretty much stock.

Not sure if I consider this a first year car. Sure it’s a Type S , but the Integra is in the second year now, the parts they are adding already exist on the CTR. The panel gaps will most likely be hit or miss just like every car out there. The gaps shouldn’t be there , I get it , but it still doesn’t push me away from ordering

BUT, they don't share many if any panels, the fenders, hood, etc.. all new made in Maryville.
SO for practical terms this is a new car or first run.

I suppose if everyone is concerned about panels Then yes. I plan to drive this car and not be concerned with panel gaps. It’s not a Porsche , it’s a Honda …. And the first run items that should be of concern are mechanical . You’d be surprised to see the step and gap issues on million dollar aircraft !!!!! They still fly though.
