How ironic yous find this silly
Going by your logic a 'Strong' Civic Sport (Type-S as he calls it) would be able to beat a VTi
well i no it wasn't a type s civic hence why i said silly indeed...

If your EK4 hasn't been majorly modded you will feel the world of difference driving an EK9. Speed wise there is not much in it, but handling and feel are completely different. EK9 will feel more "raw". Great suspension set up and high reving engine still impress me everytime I drive my 9.
As an everyday car they are fine, not the most comfortable for long motorway driving though. Sound deadening won't really be an issue unless you have an aftermarket exhaust. Potholes feel horrible on EK9 suspension though
If you can get an EK9 do it...you will definately notice the difference
dotn lie i pumped u in my jordan hahaha
out of all seriosuness when i raced martin in his ek9 the mods on both cars were as follows:
ek9, spoon n1 backbox, whales ***** induction kit
jordan, buddyclub spec 3 cat back system
and we were neck and neck
my car had 50000 miles and his ek9 had 62000 miles so there is not a massive difference between the two at all. as said its down to how hard a life the car has had mate
Yes, but i had only had the car a couple of days so I couldn't drive it then, so that doesn't count I'd smoke that Jordan now, as well as your Clio
Also it was just off the boat from Japan, so hadn't had a blast/service in a while.
Not that i'm making excuses ahaha
Jordan101 for ban
EK4
Pros:
Cheaper insurance
you already have one
Cons:
Not as track focused
Need to spend a bit more money to get it to handle better
EK9
Pros:
Track focused car
rare
Feels more focused
Cons:
Higher insurance premiums
can be annoying on long journeys due to stiffness and noise.
maybe higher running costs
can be expensive to buy
I think the best thing to do is test drive an EK9 to get your feeling on it and find out if you can afford to run the EK9. I have seen quite a few people that has bought an EK9 for a few months and then sells it because they can't afford to run it any more. Not saying they are super expensive to run, but insurance + v-power, etc all adds up especially if you are a young driver.
As mentioned before its not good to compare a standard road car to a performance track focused car and when comparing modified cars many variables comes into it.
