dont think ive seen this vid posted before butI gotta call on this race because this episode was highlighting the civic type r and it wouldnt make much sense for it to lose, which also explains why they chose a wet track.Another thing that makes it difficult to believe is the fact the euro civic type r basically has the same 200 hp engine as the usdm rsx type s.

 

i dont' see how they can possibly drive the car to its best (or limits) when they are doing so much talking and looking at the rear view mirror and smiling and elaborating.

 

i hate watching vids like this

 

So when did the s2000 come with less then 220 hp?


"This civic has almost 200 hp!"
"This s200 has about 20 more hp then the civic"


WTF?

 

So umm the S2000 is tricky to drive in the wet? Got it! I learn something new every day...

 

Yea it be better if these guys just kept their mouths shut and concentrated

 

Traction control?

 

Yeah i saw this the other day... they talk so much poop... after driving the S in the rain it's next to impossible to put the ultimate out there cos the rear just flies out instantly!!

 

I don't know how light the ep3 is, but the CTR comes with the K20a which is rated at 220hp so it is 20 hp less than the S.

I still think the S would be a little faster with proper drivers, but I do think it would be very very close if the CTR is really 100lbs lighter than the S as they say.

BUT I WILL TAKE MY S ANY DAY OF THE WEEK OVER THE THE CTR!!!!!

Do the European AP1s come with traction control unlike the US models? He said he was going to leave it turned off??

Anyways, it sucks to live in a place with weather that forces you to race on wet roads the majority of the time. Results may have been different with dry roads. If not, oh well. I doubt I'll be trading up for a Civic anytime soon. That's the best thing about having such a well-rounded car that looks good. If something else is a bit faster, it doesn't really matter.
