Why drive a type-r when a gs-r is faster? I've seen dyno plots of the Jackson Racing supercharger on a type-r and a gs-r. Guess which has more HP and more torque. No, it wasn't the type-r. Higher compression on the type-r means you can't bump the boost up as high. Methinks somebody got ripped off.

Why get a Ferrari. If you have to ask, you don't understand.

Because a R-Type is a little cheezy built POS! A ferrari is a finely crafted piece of workmanship. Using only the finest materials, in a production facility where each car is made one at a time. Not with the cheapest material and labor available.

Besides, a Ferrari is MUCH faster, and better looking.

Now go back to playing with your matchbox cars Lozer!

Because Ferraris are real. Lozer's car is a fantasy born of a small brain encased in the head of an even smaller dick.

For all the bullshit we hear about this car, no one not even once has seen Lozer provide proof of how fast his &quot;hair dryer on wheels&quot; is. Is there a reason for that Lozer???

Hmm, I'm not getting involved, but those times/MPH look REAL funny...

Check this out...

Acura, 11.6@126MPH - Hell, any 11 sec car is 120MPH+

I don't think you can do a 11.2@109 unless you slow down or something...

I'd buy a Ferrari over a Type-R because......... it's harder to jump in to a Type-R's sunroof, when I'm pretending to be Thomas Sullivan Magnum ;)

whoever said real men drive ferarri's got to be kidding themselves.

anyways, Somehow Lozer does not offend me much unlike others here but i guess i dont know the whole story. Basically Lozer is some teenager who wants to be cool and supposedly gets a type-r, and supposedly claims to actually race it? and then post his imaginary times bc he thinks its so fast? am ir right,

All i got to say is the Integra and the civic are probably the most played out cars, and the things that have been done to them are extremely laughable. I dont understand the people that still get these cars, talk about lack of originality.

back to the question which isnt even a question, of course id take a ferrari over a type-r. but i think id look silly in both. In the ferarri, everyone would look at me as a snobish rich obnoxious jerk with too much money. In the type-r, everyone would think im some wannabe racer riceboy. thats my opinion.

My 1990 GMC Jimmy goes just as fast legally as a Ferrari - and does much better in four-wheel drive. :)

Why buy a Type-R when you can just put a Type-R sticker on whatever the hell car you already have?

I'd take a Lamborghini Diablo. Any car that can go 0-60 in 1st gear is a car to get.

It'd be too much of a cop magnet, though.

Oh, forgot...let me answer the question:

&quot;...Is it just coz of the price and people will think your rich?...&quot;

Because it's a Ferrari. High resale value. Plus if one can write off the annual depreciation as a tax write-off, man...:)

Not kidding myself, but rather the originator of this thread. In other words, it was just a troll-like response to a troll.

Alright, I think everyone here can agree that Lozer is a moron. However, I personally am not sure whether he is a actual riceboy honestly trying to convince us of the merits of his supposed car, or just a fool trying to make fun of riceboys.

Either way, he's a jackass. Please don't judge all H/A owners by this example however. I own an Integra, and honestly am ashamed by the reputation of fellow owners - some deserved, some not.

The bottom line for me is - ignore morons like this kid, and respect anyone who appreciates their car for what it is...I appreciate my car for being economical (fuel-wise), relatively quick, good handling characteristics, and good-looking (IMO).

Peace,

PS - forgive my spelling and grammar, please.

I would skip buying the type-R and get an American car... least you can make serious upgrades to them a Z06 has 10.5:1 compres so I would say slap a $3000 6lb Vortech on that thing and for less then 55K you can spank any ferrari or type-R Don't see many Blowers for those 2 only hair dryers and those are $$$$
