Agreed! The powerplant is a scalpel not jackhammer. There's nothing wrong with either, it's preference. Definitely not a car you take to the drag strip. I'm sure a lot of people will undermine this car for what it isn't, instead of what it was built to do

I'm not a fan of the spoiler either, more so the upgraded suspension over the standard AP2 and carbon fiber synchros in the transmission. The name CR stands for
Club Racer, I plan to use it that way.

The AP2 got the F22C1, it features a longer stroke, lower engine redline, more usable power than the F20C in the AP2.

That's why I want it. To me, it is nearly better in every regard to my Camaro. Looks to fit my driving style perfectly. But I'm still on the fence. I love my Camaro.

Strong 4 cylinder got it moving but definitely shines in high rpm. Could be really fun with a few mods. I'm sure the CR is nice but I don't like the exterior additions.

Thanks for the input! I understand the value of a peaky twin cam four. My previous car was an MR-S 2zzge, and I guess I'm missing that high RPM heel-toe-ing. I'm with you on the exterior styling cues, but everything else the car offers is what I'm really after!
