No, not really! The Civic Type R is a FWD family hatchback with go-fast bits added on. The 370Z is a properly designed two-seater RWD sports car. No one considering a Z would ever opt for a Type R instead (or vice versa). Comparing them is pointless. They are completely different classes of automobile. Furthermore, I seriously doubt that the Type R would have beat a (similarly priced) Z Nismo around a track. Even if it did, who cares!! Anyone who thinks that all that counts is horsepower, 0-60 times and lap times, has it all wrong and maybe they would be happier in a Type R after all.

But the true issue I have with the Type R after having seen it in person is the styling. It's a complete train wreck with enough fake vents and stick-on appendages to give even a ricer-boy nightmares. It looks godawful IMHO!! But that is just my opinion and this car is extremely polarizing so someone else may find it absolutely beautiful. I mean I had a friend once who found Rosy O'Donnell sexy. See what I'm saying? LOL.

And yeah, I'd look completely weird in a Type R at my age. Actually anyone over 19 would look weird in it. Just my 2 cents.
