Agreed would like to see a roller based on savagegeese's video, also lap times around a rougher surfaced track tbh. At the end of the day comparing these metrics is like comparing two pizzas and seeing which one flys better, certainly not what they're intended for and not whats important
I thing savagegeese alluded to the ITS being faster on the track but I guess we will find out . They also ran both on 93 octane
Yeah lateral G was 0.01 off from the CTRMy take away from that video was that the ITS was faster straight line, but the CTR would still post better lap times based on suspension tuning, until it ran out the front tires. All that said, I am assuming it's a $300 ADS swap if you want to run FL5 suspension settings. Surprised no one has reverse engineered a new module that can switch between CTR, CTR LE, and now DE5 tuning. Lots of CTRs running the LE ADS. I wouldn't mind swapping for track days since they are few and far between for me, but don't think I can do it for every Auto-X event
Also, didn't Motor Trend say their figure 8 #s were identical?
The manager of the Acura dealership I go through just sold his modded FK8 which he had an autocross coach for & he said the same thing - faster in a straight line & not as efficient at super high speeds in turns vs. the CTR. Guess I'll just have to wait after break in to see myself. Plus...mods.My take away from that video was that the ITS was faster straight line, but the CTR would still post better lap times based on suspension tuning, until it ran out the front tires.

The aero is the main player for high speed stability, I don't recall seeing any downforce metrics provided by Acura. I imagine they dont care. The other main lap time oriented characteristic that cannot be described in metrics is how the car rotates and thus how early throttle can be applied in the turn. I'm guessing this is where the R would be better but then would lose slightly on the straights with less power. This match up would be very track dependent imoThe manager of the Acura dealership I go through just sold his modded FK8 which he had an autocross coach for & he said the same thing - faster in a straight line & not as efficient at super high speeds in turns vs. the CTR.
