![]() ![]() Would still take a CTR over all of these examples though, the Supra is a close tie.įast is such a subjective term though. If you add something as simple as two sticky tires in the rear, youd probably make a Camaro or Firebird a 12 second car, im fairly confident with that.Īll of these cars would get wacked by a 3.0L GR Supra today though. Heck, even a base corvette will go low 13s.Ī terminator Cobra, despite its weight moved out fairly well too. Fairly light, LS7 that made good power, RWD, 12 second quarter mile times. If we're going to use older cars as a reference, a C5 Z06 is a great example of what was fairly quick for those times. The reason they would beat up any most of the "fast" Hondas back in the day was because they could get out of the hole quicker (ask me how I know). That V8 is intimidating but its the same deal as any other American car save for the Corvette. I also hate to say it, older F bodies werent that fast without some work either. A mid to high 13 second car, just isnt fast no matter which way you try and spin it. But you know what doesnt change? A "decent" quarter mile time. I agree with you that a lot has changed in the past decade. I wouldnt take any of these other faster cars over it. What this car lacks with being "Fast", it makes up for with so many other things, including its ability to haul 4 people around, get great gas mileage, great looking interior especially the seats (compared to Ford and Chevy interiors I think the CTR is leaps and bounds ahead), and more. I wouldnt consider this a jab at the R though, as I consider the car to be quite capable of outperforming the majority of these "Faster" cars on a track/autocross. If you consider cars you can get used in good condition for what the R is going for these days, that list grows considerably. I say "Fast" like this because the average highschooler considers fast to be whatever gets you to the next stoplight fastest, or whatever can put you back in your seat at a 40 roll which the CTR can do neither that well.Ī FWD 306hp car that weighs 3100lbs to me isnt really fast by any means (thanks physics), but the car has some pep in its step for sure.Ĭars that I would consider a step quicker out of the box probably would be Scat Packs, Golf R, Mustang GT (especially the Autos), GR Supra, etc. ![]() ![]() I dont think the car is "fast", but I do think its a riot around a track and capable of punching above its weight class with the right driver. ![]()
