Ive had a an Accord Type R in my Leon Cupra but mines Revo re-mapped. My cousin has a atandars CTR which struggles to keep up, but ive already mentioned that.

Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
I was thinking about this last night and the ACTR is over 200KG heavier that the the CTR.
No surprises there, but when you think about it that's another thirty odd stone!
It's just like having two fat bl.. birds in the back!
Not really a comparison then, merely an observation.

Having owned a Cupra R and now owning a New Civic Type R. I can say the Cupra R is faster, especially since mine was re-mapped. One thing I do notice about the Civic is that it handles better than the Leon although the ride is firmer
Oh and the LCR is much faster than an Accord type R, I bet one by a second over the quarter mile when my car was standard

Just been looking at the clip in your sig, what bhp is the ibiza running at
It wrecks the CTR mate and both my mates m3's up till about 155,
the car was claimed by jabba to be 251bhp, but it was run at Dastek 2 days before these videos were taken, last month at 227bhp and the guy said it was running lean tho!
Is your car standard mate?
Theres 2 EG civic kicks about my way that are quick!
Ones a 1.6 single cam vtec with a turbo and the other has an ITR engine in it!

Overal the CTR demolished me on the round abouts, couldnt keep the car glued to the road while applying the power to the wheels, need to sort me suspension out. plus my front tyres need changing again as, it spun al the time, 1st 2nd 3rd.
This is definitely not the weather for racing cars like the Civic around roundabouts. With almost twice the peak torque of a CTR at 2500rpm, wheelspin and understeer are inevitable. Challenge them to a 4th gear 40-100mph race

Well dont think he want to, plus ive cut down due to bad weather.
my mates got a CTR, was up against him in a strait line, even till 120 and i started to move forward a bit, not much though, pretty even,
Yeh , was thinking that also but read some were that the vvt engine pushes more to the end of the rev rane as the non vvt tend to die out. Unless i missed something out. Correct me if im wrong

I'd imagine that was more down to the driver than the car. The CTR is the better handling of the two, but I only say that based on my own limited experience...and the words of Tiff Needel!
LCR is not as good on the twisties as the CTR, end of!!! And grip isn't the problem either.. Having owned a CTR for 3 years and 100,000k and the LCR for just under 3 years and 80,000k I thik I can give a good unbiased opinion.. The LCR has a lot more grip than the CTR i've found (well with Conti sports on it anyway) and mine's mapped!!!! The CTR is a lot more chuckable though, the better handler and just more fun in general..
As for speed. Same skilled driver in both, similar to about 90, then the CTR will start to edge away, tried and tested many many times with my cars and my mates.. But obviously people meeting others on road will have different outcomes as more than likely driving skill..
Both great cars though, leave it at that I say..

i had an 05 civic sport and that felt horrible of the line even with 115 bhp!!but ive never had a fwd car sideways as much!!!ultimate lift off oversteer!great cars to throw around just not as driveable as the cupras!!torque more than anything.new type r isnt as fast as the last.fact.
they sound great with a filter on too!!no turbo tho is it!!
ben id have to agree.there aint much between them,do think the leon is a nicer place to sit tho.
