I had a play with one. standard on standard a 225 lcr is quicker imo but the civic has better handling
as above LCR is quiker in a straight line but the CTRs handle very well,BUT,stick a remap on the LCR and it wont matter how well the CTRs handle lol

his car has a completely built engine, stripped interior and slicks. Only mod remaining for him is a supercharger...
He is a full second faster than me on the 1/8th mile but in real life story is different
actually, stock vs stock the CTR is slightly faster than LCR from 0. Been covered many many many times.
The civics handling isnt all that tbh, crappy electric power steering, the back end can be extremely snap oversteer happy in wet or slippy conditions. But the LCR felt rather heavy and grown up, the civic by comparison feels light and fizzy. Hard cars to compare, and tbh, cant go wrong whichever you choose.
They look ok from in my rear view mirror
+1
Standard Type R vs Remapped LC has no chance. Rolling start, stop start... doesn't matter.
They get quite annoyed when they cant beat family car.
