I work for a Honda dealership in Canada,and what we heard so far is that the engine is exactly the same with the same Specs as the 17-21

I mean no disrespect by this, however...

While I AGREE that they will likely retain the same C1 motor at 305hp-ish, any information coming from any of us, at the dealership level (be it stores & shops), that information is nothing more than speculation for now.

The only 340 number seen in legit entries doesn't relate to the USA version - I believe it was the British KWH (electric HP equivalent number) for their 316 HP motor = no change.

So now the question is, how did they pull a second less than the 10th LE?

I work for Corp and dealership doesn't know anything about the new CTR. We make sure no one knows only HondaPros and some selected ambassadors, hpd, research team would know

Time could be anything from weather, tires, suspension, driver, "ringer" tune or engine - but knowing Honda it's legit and promissing as a production vehicle prototype. Hopefully it's not the camouflage!

Cornering. Absolutely destroyed the LE and on not as good tires. Put cups on and its 3+ seconds. The acceleration looked better in the LE but could be gearing too.

You forgot to add, maybe the driver was lighter.?

2.0L K20C1? It’s a common practice to flash the ECU to get more power without any engine modification. See Flashpro and KTuner.

Yeah, I’m completely aware of what an ECU flash is, but to me, “exact specs as 17-21” means “exact”. Aka no modified ECU.
