Those who have mentioned the Audi S3 - in the real world, they arent that quick (maybe off the line.) CTR will keep up with them happily. unless you chip the S3 of course, as we all know its easy to get silly power for little cash with turbos. a chipped S3 would see quite a few cars off i reckon 
read the thread title, im sure it says ASTRA
Read Matty Gs post - im sure he says the CTR is ugly, and his avatar tells me he drives a corsa. My response was to him not to the original thread title. Much like the part about the S3.
Yep the CTR is ugly, Astra gets my vote

you should get a few of the jap mags and read up on what the little blighters are capabale of when they have been fettled with
point scored...yassss
There is no bolloking way a supercharged type R will do 12 sec. 1/4... !!!
Not without ALOT of work!!! and alot of money!
there are plenty of Astras that are hitting 13/14's which is where the SC civic is likley to be ....
agreed i have only ever seen one ff car do sub 12's 1/4
a corsa on here got a 12.8
Yes but Lucky b's was mental and had a lot of money spent on it...
no wasnt luckyb's, it was about a month ago someone posted up their time from the pod, used N2O though.
Muppetsport should see 12secs easy when running full power. he got a 13.5 on standard power
At PVS 2004 i saw a purple standard looking one that ran a low 13 think ...2.0L Throttle boddied and NOS... that was impressive..

well guys less go for it flame me if you want but too read some of these comments has just made me piss myself,well if you have not gessed iam off the civic type r forum and to read these post that you are writing i just cannot beleve what crap you are talking about,but to compare cars that you are talking about you must at least drive the pair of them before you give comment yes your astra is not a bad car,200bhp and turbo'ed this has a great base for doing something good to,but to be honest the ctr has 200bhp and is quicker 0-60 and a faster top speed with no turbo,this also drives like a proper car with no modding needed,so come on guys give it a try before you slag it off with some shitty comments,and as for the leon do not underestimate them as these will beat the pair of us with no problem at all

Most people on here flame the CTR... there have been so many posts its a joke!
My 2p... as a former CTR driver I cant understand how anyone could pick an Astra GSI over the CTR... the CTR won all the 'awards' and ofr a very good reason... those would be the same reasons why it outsold the GSI by something like 10:1!! IMO (and I owned one so can comment fairly) its generally faster and can be tuned just as easily as a GSI, nicer inteior... better seats (despite the astra having recaros) and I absolutely loved it!!

driveability?!?! having to drop 2 gears to get it in the power band, when the astra will just take off in any gear with its superior torque?

surely thats just personal opinion? many think the CTR looks like it should be round the back of Simmons Bakers, but thats all personal opinion too
absolutely spot on - it IS personal opinion and in my opinion, the corsa looks sh!te in comparison the to CTR. just because i think different to some people, i can still "voice" my opinion.

im not saying the ctr is a crap car, i dont like it that my personal opinion, and from my point of view i dont think its a very good setup, isnt as quick as ppl make out and lacks torque, but the amount of muppets that drive them lets them down also
also the fact that these muppets think they are some kind of jap beast also makes me more inclined to say they are wank to bring them down a peg or two, probably very unsuccessfully mind
i remember the twot who came on here from that CTR forum raving how he can get up in the morning and have 200 ponies under his right foot!
Yeah..so...? still aint very fast and lacks torque
this is a prime example of the typical ctr driver

OMG Sorry, but you are a fcukin idiot! Thats a CLP Racing demo car
If your gonn a go off no money limits, and mod limits...Then dont make me bring out Regals old demo coupe is phase 5, FMIC, Uprated pistons, Manifold and lots more - RR'd @ 323BHP.
I was talking about this chappy who "Realisically" could mod the car. I said you can't just get a 12sec type R without massive money
"We had just fitted our new turbo kit and wanted to try out the 1/4 mile potential of the new setup. After a few runs of getting used to the power delivery we made a run with a time of 12.51 seconds at 121mph. This is certainly the quickest and fastest Civic Type R in the U.K. "
OMG! All your doing is showing me the quickest type R in the UK?????? Whats that gonna proove!?
Plus its 279BHP The Regal 323BHP Astra would piss on it...
You didn't really proove much there did you amigo?? Apart from how sarcartic you can be TBH sons?

SJW - the majority of CTR drivers are alright people who arent wankers. HOwever as they have now come down in price there are a lot of chav types buying them and bringing the name down so to speak.
AS for lack of torque - Torque pulls caravans. BHP wins races.
The CTR IS a fast car for what it is. 197BHP and capable of 6.4secs to 60. from a standard 2.0 16v. i'd say that is quick. not quick in terms of cars on the whole, but for what it is, its quick.
may i ask why you dont think its a good setup? im curious. thanks

you really are clueless, you have been reading the fast and furoius guide to tuning pmsl, BHP is useless without torque, BHP is more gainful for top end speed, more torque is better for acceleration, its a crap setup because of its power band rev range, and i dont think traction it to clever in them also
