The ek9 civic type r is faster to 60mph but the ep3 ctr is faster to a 100mph. Overall though the ek9 ctr is a much more raw and focused car than the ep3 ctr.

I dont think its the most powerful 1.6 N/A engine made. IIRC the Mitsu. Cyborge-r, basically a colt produces the most. Shame there are no examples over here

There is also a test kicking about on the 'net somewhere which compares the CTR (EK9) to the the ITR DC-2 and concludes the ITR is the better of the two due to its rawness, again IIRC.

the 0-60 in the EK9 is something silly like 5.8 as quoted by Honda themselves but this has proven very doubtful as many magazines etc. have got no where near that when they tried, so its all abit fishy to be honest.

saying that it will be able to keep up with the EP3 up until the ton.

yis are all wrong, colt cyborg is 175bhp, and as ive said before the nissan pulsar vzr spec 1 and spec 2 were 1.6 n/a producing aparently 197bhp. id still have the ctr any day myself though

I'm running a '99 Civic Vti, with mods, giving it 175bhp.

In town it returns low 30's MPG.
Long runs arn't much better because of the gearing.
