Hey guys I absolutely love the look of the FN2 but I'm always disappointed with performance stats sites throw around for the cars and even what many car magazines state about it. I know from previous experience that there is a specific method to driving a VTEC fast and really you have to be on your top game against the turbo monsters these days. My friend that had a Civic Vtec 1999 model used to show many turbo cars of the time a clean pair of heels and the car mags only stated a 0-100 time of more or less 8 seconds in most magazines but when he drove it he knew the car better then some random driver climbing into a new car and having to first learn how to push it's limits. So I feel there is probably alot more inside of the K20 even in stock form when it comes to pushing the car around. A shirt I read many years ago puts it into perspective better "If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space!".

Please all FN2 drivers give your feedback thanks.

Missed this thread completely. I test drove the FN2 a year ago, first time was passenger for a friend and the second time and most recent test I went for a drive to draw my own conclusions.

I feel the body is too heavy and I didn't like the feel of power delivery. It was really slow in my opinion and the only real time you're going to get them to wake up is with some assistance in the breathing department or perhaps a wild NA build.

The price tag didn't justify the experience for me.
