I got your back Poster.
I think what Poster is trying to say is that the Type R is fast for what it is which is a FWD 200 horsepower car made 15 years ago. Even though the car is old and "slow" by today's standards it's still kicking a lot of butt in motorsports.
In the SCCA Solo II FWD stock class the Type-R continues to dominate even against today's car. It's some dominating some series have outlawed it from this class or have bumped it up to the next class which is the modified FWD class since other FWD cars just can't beat them. Even when compared with RWD or 4WD cars on it's class (like the WRX, Chevy Cobalt supercharged, and Golf GTI) it still does well if not dominates. Not bad for a 15 year old car.
I personally have seen it done on an autocross course and it's amazing.
