as for an RS turbo yes a type r would waiste it!But a decent tuned turbo would beat a standard type r but the type r weighs more power to weight ratio plus the turbo on a RS turbo would come in before the v-tech.The focus RS is the new Rs turbo and that why it has more bhp and torque but as for the v-tech boys fk needing to revs your car to death to get about 2-3 rpm of v-tech power
if honda were to get the v-tech in before then it would be a diffrent story but as for now there shite
pure and simple!!!
to be fair the dc-5 is the Heaviest type r ever made, and you can get the v tech in at 4-4500rpm buy fitting a hondata ecu, if you drove a dc 2 integra im sure you would have a different perspective on type r's. Also you cant compair a type r to a cossie there not in the same class a type r is a hot hatch stick a cossie up against a modded s2000 or nsx and see what happens. i know we are all die hard FORD fans but our chassis technoilogy is 20 years old, fair enough we can stick more power through our engines but its not all bout straight line speed unless you live in rome
Again i love my rst but a type r is a MUCH better car by far
