Tracks ae almost as unreliable as dynos. Just as the type of dyno and climate can affect the numbers, tracks have similar variables. For example same car same driver, in Bradenton FL the track is extremely slow whereas Miami is in line with more normal times.

Should have said corner of the bumper. Where the fogs are. It's just not my cup of tea. I've been 19 with a Honda in 1999. Don't need to relive it

Pretty much. The vinyls and body kit remind me of the mustang in fast and furious 4. If you like it than hey, who am I? It's just my opinion. Clean and simple is what I like.

As a side question, why would it be such a terrible thing to be compared to a 99 Honda? The 99 civic Si for one was extremely fast for its time, got excellent mpg's and are still on the roads today with 150k+ miles on the motor running like new. Ford is on its way but not there yet. Some could argue that the rs3 wishes it was a 99 Honda.
