    Both amazing cars!! I traded my 19’ FK8 and bought the FL5 3 months ago! I loved my FK8 but I prefer my Fl5 just a little bit more! It was an easier decision for me because I got my FL5 for msrp and got more than what I paid for my FK8 new in 2019! I have really been enjoying it!! I don’t think a person can go wrong with either one!! I drove my fk8 for 4 years and have had my FL5 for about 3 months and so I have had a good amount of time to get to know each car quite well!! I do like the more toned down look on the fl5 body!! Through my experience I like how the FL5 feels a bit more solid and refined with higher quality interior but I highly recommend either one! I agree with you they both fantastic cars but I wouldn’t go back to the FK8 if I am being 100 percent honest but it doesn’t change the fact the the FK8 is an outstanding car! Awesome video and keep up the phenomenal content!! Have a great upcoming weekend!!

      Yessir! Both are very amazing cars and I also don't think I can go back to an FK8 after having driven the FL5 the past month+. Thanks for watching and hope you have a great weekend as well Shaun!

    The new IntegraType S is the copy of the FL5. The FK8 never had another of carbon copy of its type.
    This is all preference since the performance is pretty much the same. The FK8 owners and FL5 owners will always be split on what type R is better in their eyes.

      Yep. I think this one comes down to personal taste and if you want new tech in your car. They both drive very similarly. Thanks for watching!

    I rather keep my Fk8. Because I like how aggressive it looks and I am already modifying it already. So their is no reason for me to upgrade to the FL5. Even it a cool car, I just perfer the Fk8 more then the FL5.

      I think that's a great choice! No reason to swap if you love your FK8. Thanks for watching Danny!

    I have a 21 FK8, if I could get a FL5 at MSRP I would consider getting it. I just can’t justify the ADM like you mentioned.

    • @turbo_tin
      @turbo_tin  Год назад

      FK8 is still a great car. I wouldn't trade it unless you have a good deal.

    Awesome vid, would be great to see a comparison between the FL5 and the FK8 LE on some backroads or on track.
    Hope to run into you at summit point this summer!

      That's a good move. Hopefully you get an fl5 at a good price. Thanks for watching!

    Based on trade in values and markups it will cost like 20k to upgrade,at least. No way it’s 20k better!

    • @turbo_tin
      @turbo_tin  Год назад

      Definitely not 20k better!

    I had a 2021 FK8, I think this FL5 is a much better vehicle. I've had way more compliments on this car vs. the FK8 and the technology is much more advanced. That's my opinion.

    • @turbo_tin
      @turbo_tin  Год назад +1

      I would have to agree. Lots of new tech in the FL5. Thanks for watching Rickey!

      ​@Tin Nguyen any new upgrades for your FL5?

      I am waiting for a sprint air filter and for an exhaust company to finish developing for the FL5.

    FK8 is a beast
    FL5 has more potential (more room for huge turbo)
    DE5 is the street choice
    Keeping my FK8 and picking up an FL5 later on, maybe buy my daughter a Type S as well - classic trio

    • @turbo_tin

      I agree. Your daughter is extremely lucky to have you! Thanks for watching!

      @Tin Nguyen She has a 2022 Si now, and by the time she finishes college, she should be ready for a Type S. Solid family car with great safety and performance.
      Are you swapping for Type S?

    • @turbo_tin
      @turbo_tin  Год назад +1

      I don't think I'll be swapping over to the Type S. Not a fan of the looks

    I took my fk8 last week for service to the local dealership, while waiting I was negotiating the fl5 I love the blue color but they asking 25k more over the msrp 70k+ 😅, no way I’ll keep my fk8 .😁

    • @turbo_tin
      @turbo_tin  Год назад

      I'd keep your FK8 too! 25k over is preposterous for a Type R.
