Honda Civic Type R - Street Level
Read about the Honda Civic Type R and what makes it a classic import in the Street Level section of this month's issue.CTR Bio
What makes a Civic Type R so much more kick-ass than a regular old Civic has more to do with feats of engineering like a high compression ratio, tight gearing, a lofty horsepower-per-liter ratio, and a dope pair of Recaro seats, and less to do with shiny red badges and a cool looking front lip. Badges and lips aside-as sweet as they may be-there are more than a couple of cosmetic monikers that distinguish the EK9 from any of its other '96-'00 Civic hatchback brethren. It isn't unlike comparing a filet mignon to a slab of hamburger meat-they both come from the same place but were born and bred in entirely different ways, and resemble one another little once presented.
