R1 is the race model. you can tell by looking at it. R1's have no sunroof, front and rear spoilers, 2nd oil cooler, no cruise control, no bose, bilstein shocks, suede seats.

touring has bose, cruise,sunroof,leather

most people will opt for the R1 but they are harder to find. it depends if you want options like sunroof etc etc.

the actual driver of the car will make more difference than a touring or r1 on the track

Regarding drag racing - I've heard the auto's are a bit faster in the quarter mile. Also, Nick at N-Tech ran a 13.5 in a 100% stock Touring model...

Autos are NOT faster, they tend to run about .5 sec slower.

N-tech did have a good run. I'm almost tired of hearing it.

Most FDs will run 13.8-14.2 stock.
