    ek9 type r comparison

    ok folks ive always wanted one of these ek9 type r's but somehow i ended up with a clio trophy

    has anyone on here ever driven one and are they really as good as these vtec yo boys make them out to be? not really bothered about the 0-60 and top speed stats, but want to understand them from a driving point of view, how do they compare with the clio sports

    cheers

    I have never personally driven one but they do look nice and sound nice. Go for a Jordan, you know you want to

    I would rather have the honda for the simple reason that it could make 450+whp on stock sleeves with a fairly cheap turbo kit Plus it has a multi link rear end instead of a pony trailing arm, oh and you get a proper diff
