Default Civic smoking a SS

Civic is suppose to put down 320 rwhp/ 270 rwtq. Should have been a closer race than that, but run what ya brung. Usuaully don't post vids of LS1's getting killed, but we can't win em all.

I'm not gonna say what's on my mind, because I don't want to hate on the quick Civic. It sure is an impressive car.

Was I missing something or did it look like the SS wasn't sure if he wanted to hit the accelerator at the signal of the horn?

There is no way that the SS would have been left behind like that.

That is a shame on his part.

Yea I think that Civic guy paid that Camaro to lose for the video. What ricer that has enough $ to put a faster motor in his car and doesnt even have tinted windows or tach. Just a though....oh yea and its a 4 door Civic, not very popular with the import racing "Civic" croud.

Your an idiot, cheesefrog makes some fast cars, just because you don't like them doesn't mean they can't be fast. Oh and FWIW the four door is lighter than the two door.

There are some fast Civics out there...but that SS got absolutely left behind. That Civic would have to be a low 11 second car to do that.

Not only was it a four door, notice he had the stock seats and stock steering wheel. This must be a joke. Ricers always change the seats and steering wheel.

And to the guy who started this thread, I don't think a Civic can put down 320 rwhp and 270 rwtq...I mean I could be wrong, but Civics are front wheel drive, right? Hahaha.

I just gotta raise the flag on that one.....

Anybody else notice that the guy's head didn't move even a milimeter toward the headrest? If he was accelerating that fast wouldn't there be just a tad of G force? Looks staged to me.
