The spreadsheet can be viewed here (Google Sheets). From what I can see the wheel speed of the FL5 is about 4.65% faster than the FK8 across the board. With some guessing that Honda did some torque remapping in 1st and 2nd gear it could explain how it can easily beat the FK8 off the line. I do not know enough to figure out why the FK8 is
We know the FL5 Honda Civic Type R is faster than its predecessor, the FK8, but by how much - and why? Sam hits the track in both of these turbocharged VTECThe other colors are Crystal Black Pearl, Rallye Red, Sonic Gray Pearl and Boost Blue. Each is available with a black and red interior. Sadly absent from the list is the Phoenix Yellow of the Bose stereo in FL5 is better than crap in the FK8. Seats are similar, FL5 has a slight edge - both are just excellent seats! Braking feel (for street driving at least) is similar, again slightly better on FL5. Steering on both is delightful, FL5 feels slightly less talkative in normal driving, but once you load up the steering a bit through f0rf.
