580. Encounter with the FD2 Type R
I've read about it in the magazines, saw it in videos and everyone is raving about it. They say that it's the fastest car out of the Honda stable to date right behind the NSX. I was skeptical. I thot it was just all hype, as on paper, it isn't all dat great. 225PS, 215Nm, 1270Kg. Big deal. Then I saw it in action. It's acceleration was unbelievable! It can take an Evo 8 on the straights. In the corners, eventhough it's a FF car, there's no understeer and very little body roll. How the heck is all this possible in a NA 2L 4 door sedan??? I suspect dat Honda under declared the specs and perhaps the driver has something to do with it too. Bottomline, I am now a believer, but at RM200K, is it a bargain?

Ave Carumba! But still, it feels more than that! :)
