People pay much more than that for things they don't end up liking whether it be cars, houses, schooling, etc. Also doesnt necessarily mean that they lose the value of what they spent just to see if its something they can fall in love with. Financial risk tolerance is different for everyone...
It's totally fine to have your own opinions about the car and the experience regardless of how they differ from other's. Could be you need another go at it or just to get used to the new power band. Definitely don't let people gate keep a car or put you off from owning something or convince you...
For what it's worth the demo vehicle I saw dissuaded me from my number 1 choice in color and im typically pretty fair with quirkiness, the pictures dont even do it justice if im honest. I am still going to check out a darker color to see if it gets better
Correct, you can gain an easy 70hp/tq usually with just a reflash if it's anything like my S4. Can also put the extra power to the ground which is the main benefit of mqb
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...
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
Summary was well said, a collectible ferrari it is not but a fantastic do it all daily it most certainly is. This is partly why the markups on the R and S bother me so much, it takes away from the original ethos of the car
Saw and drove the ITS yesterday morning so thought I'd throw my 2 cents in. I held off for a while to process my thoughts and not let emotions affect me too much. For reference I have not yet driven or sat in the new FL5 but did own an fk8 and have driven many different types of cars. I'm...
Embargo lift can't come soon enough! It seems posts fall on opposite ends of the spectrum and there's a lot of mental gymnastics going on on social media. I get it people innately will justify what they have/are going to spend but I'd love to hear from someone who is on the fence and has...

6:50, Mr Savagegeese seems like his video on Monday will have all the answers everyone's been after
I tend to agree, not sure about 10k but i think the market for the type S after the early adopters get theirs will shadow wherever the type R goes. I have a feeling you'll be able to grab one under msrp after a year or two but we'll see
Ah perhaps I misunderstood, you're thinking still clear but with a hint of tint to darken the current color? Stek has colored PPF for a complete color change and , actually now that I think about it, I think they have varying level of "smoke" PPFs that are meant to darken your headlights. Wonder...
The type R forged accessory wheel would maintain scrub R, drop ~20 lbs in unsprung and you could easily swap in acura center caps to look oem. Still 19" though
I do not discriminate. If you make a good car I will come knocking, I've owned a lot of very different cars haha. Honestly as long as you've got a bit of spare $$ I don't think you can go wrong. We're living in an unexpected golden age of manual hatches, I'm just thankful that there is options
Totally get it, honestly infotainment doesn't bother me too much as long as I can connect my phone and it's reliable but I really don't drive that much.
Actually the 5, I placed one of the last orders of the first model year and found out that they bumped base price up 7k+ and increased price...
All on the same day of the reservation disaster for me I got a call from my honda dealership saying my R is to be delivered in ~month, an email from Toyota saying I'm next up on the GR, and my caddy salesman wanting to chat about my blackwing order from forever ago. I'm going to have a rough...
