I see people are bitchin about the GT-R possibly being stock. And yet, whenever a highly modded GT-R beats a completely stock mid-level Ferrari or Porsche, everybody accepts it as a fair n' square victory. Oh the double standards.
***** Well then it's fair and square, so I don't mind. But what pisses me off is when people see a Le Mans grade GTR beat a low end stock Porsche like a 944 or something and actually treat it as a fair race, then in their mind GTR is faster than any Porsche ever made. Zealous GTR worshipers pull that shit all the time. Most annoying fanboys ever.
Not. GTR loses to both of them, both on track and quartermile :) Nissan has NOTHING that comes close to LaFerrari. The distance from the Civic to the GTR is the same as a LaFerrari down to a GTR. Nissan aint got shit. The prime of godzilla is over, accept it and stop being a baby.
Apples to oranges. K-series to B-series. Ks will make 220 and even 250 whp with bolt-ons and almost minimal effort--they respond much better than B-series--plus your K24A2 makes 205 bhp to begin with (TSX, right?) The B16B is somewhere in the realm of 180 bhp stock--so even less whp in stock form. A jump to 230 whp is probably around 250-270 at the crank for this engine.
+John Hayes b16b producing way more hp/liter. From an engineering stand point, the b16b is amaaazing. Both engines are actually amazing. Everyone should stop the B vs K deal, why not appreciate both engines for want they are. On top of that, let's not forget the when the b16b, or heck, the first b16's were made. '89 if I'm not mistaken. Credit to the Honda engineers of the that time period.
EXACTLY!! I agree. And yes, you're right about '89. You have to take a close look at Honda motors to see where Honda spends the money. They were never worried about displacement, they created well-balanced, bang for buck, geniously-engineered motors. Though the B18C5 is hands down the cream of the crop B-series motor, the B16A/B defined what Honda was capable of in the late 80's and 90's.
+Cody Carson The stock 1983 Civic produced around 70hp, I doubt that this car has only light mods. Probably a B motor swap, or (what would be awesome) is a K20A. It also still has the door trim in it, so I'm guessing it's not that hardcore of a strip down as well. If you want to go all out, then door trim has to go :p Impressive little car, none the less!
Just so you know, not all RHD Civics are made in Japan. The Civic in the video still has the full dash and door trim, making it hard for me to believe that it has been stripped down to save weight. I am not saying that the car is heavy, I'm only pointing out what I see in the video. I would really like to know what mods were done to this car.
IHaveNoName how can you not be impressed with this driving? youre crazy. my man took a 15k civic build and destroyed a 100k nissan with pure raw talent you sir are a loon
IHaveNoName yeah a stock all wheel drive twin turbo v6 500+ horsepower car that was built for the track you gotta have skills for the track my man and to say youre not impressed is still crazy.
Dude can shift like crazy. Love the middle finger though haha. I've always enjoyed watching cheaper cars being built and dominating upper class cars like that.
CarCrazy Yeah I could tell that the guy driving the Honda was a far better driver than the guy in the GTR. Its very unusual to say the words "Honda", and "good driver" in the same sentence.
Boostedtaco It has an accelerator, a brake pedal, a steering wheel, and something to shift with (which in this case are paddle shifters), so I don't see the validity in your comment.
Boostedtaco seriously bro, do you even go to the track? also GTR is Awd, it's not that easy to play with AWD cars. Lastly it's a fucking heavy car with grandpa driving style so yea your argument is invalid.
Kieran Mcelroy LMAO no they aren't. You're pulling some good shit out of your ass. The sti's are not even the best for track, they're awesome rally cars but they're not as competitive as you think or assume they are. You do know the s2000 and NSX are hondas right? Which either would make a far much better track platform than the sti. Do you even watch "hot version" or do you even know what it is? Go watch it then come back. Also, if they weren't made for that.. is that why an eg6 is the fastest N/A in the Tsukuba circuit with a 58 second lap? Is that why why the new civic type R completely crushes the time an sti puts at the Nurburgring despite being fwd?? Quit being sheep like most kids on the internet that pretend to know about cars and actually educate yourself about the subject. The damn video is an example yet you're still debating it, LOL
Kieran Mcelroy And about the drag strip check out the speed factory civic competing with completely built muscle cars and kings performance s2000. Besides, I said track, not drag strip and even so.. Hondas run 7's.
Johnny Salvattore From what I know. TypeSH, Honda NSX, and S2000 is the only Hondas that was actually meant for racing. Civics weren't really meant for racing up until the Type R or Civic SI I believe.
This was interesting to watch and truly an amazing feat for that civic driver. All I really see in these comments is about how the civic is crap too win or how the GTR is too fast to lose. When it comes down to it, the driver matters a lot more than any mod any car has. This isn't some little drag where the outcome can already be decided by hp numbers before it even started. It all comes down to how each driver drives in addition to the car. Yeah, the civic is just a "civic" and the GT-R is the king of all wheel drive, but none of that matters when the driver of that civic can corner faster and corner harder. I doubt any of you guys that talks crap about the civic or gtr could beat that civic driver if given a chance to go against him on a track with a gtr.
the GTR is an amazing car but (if the one on this vid is all stock) they are way too heavy. this civic on the other hand is light af and ontop of that the driver of this civic obviously knows this car like the back of his hand. while i love the GTR i gotta admit...computer systems arent going to match a driver who knows every inch of his car and knows its limits and how to drive the car at its full potential. computers have beaten ppl but theres always that one golden child driver that somehow can beat anything lol
GhostPhace Also power to weight ratio helps.. and depends on the track... if this was spa or monza, the civic would have no chance..but its a monster on short twisty circuits like tsukuba.
It's because people think this works like a video game. Ever see those fanboys who say "oh his car is stock if he had the same upgrades as that civic the gtr would smoke him"? Same concept, think it's like a video game. If it did have the same "upgrades" I'm pretty sure that's just downgrading the gtr
It doesn't matter about the car it depends on the driver if you know how to control you're car and the other driver doesn't than you have the advantage
I saw a GTR with 3 Hondas behind it. The GTR driver was having a Venti mochafrappuccinolatte, checking some texts, trying to figure out where that buzzing sound was coming from. Might've been going to church in their Sunday best too :P
people who say the gtr is stock is stupid, coz on the straight line, as you can see the gtr is faster. so the cause of losing is that the matter of driver or the gtr itself is too heavy so he couldn't catch up.
Basically, the Hondas are much better than the Nissans at technical circuits, rather than fast ones. You can witness that on the Super GT as well. Nevertheless, I think a true race is won with glory by "who" can drive better, rather than "what" can run faster. I think most people here might agree with what I said. You're still right: the GT-Rs have always been highway "jets", and you can see once again on a stock NSX-R '92 against a stock '99 R34 GT-R, running on a technical circuit..
I think the power and speed of the gtr are over exaggerated by its legacy, when in reality its heavy and can be outperformed handling wise by a lot of nimbler cars, you can clearly see the gtr woulda won if not for turns, this was by no means a suprising outcome to me, that gtr coulda had 1000hp, it still wasn't a estimated 2000 lb MAX (for that Honda) range nimble car built for track
Stig's Italian Cousin i respect where it came from but it is pretty overhyped. especially since you have little 13 year olds praising the gtr when they cant even drive one, and then once its beaten by a lowerclass car they are quick to make excuses
Zyopino GT power also played no factor in this race either. its a fairly technical track. the civic driver was also keeping him self calm by gesturing and genuinely nseeming like hes having a blast. would have made no diffence if they both were in gtrs or all were this driver knows this track. presonall i still like the gtf thou unlike its predecessors in the 34 down to 32 it is very much a hevy car. the stripped down civic had the edge in every corner. the gtr also had a high disadvantage having to slow its own weight upseting its ballance losing what gave it its avantage whitch is purly its power alone
Almost as good as watching that video of the miata out driving the r35. Always great to see nissan fanboys get butthurt (even tho i love the r32s and 33s)
Perfect summary of a Honda lover lol. That screaming engine, nearly instant gear banging, carrying your momentum through corners mmmmm. But god damn those long straights haha.
Comon guys your comparing a full bread race car... The civic of course is setup perfectly for this track and very light weight id say around 2000 pounds with all that weight reduction as opposed to 3800 pounds the GTR has. I think you guys need to compare a mildly tuned gtr and this civic to really have an argument.
So you're making an excuse for the twin turbo v6, with one of the best awd systems in the world with a super computer that continuously monitors traction and shifts faster than a pro driver?? Is the 4 banger, fwd, naturally aspirated in a an advantage here?? lol oh lord
Johnny Salvattore And thats how you END an argument before it even starts WELL SAID! Anthony .Nguyen Don't even bother responding there's nothing u can say that will be better
Johnny Salvattore Think you are forgetting the biggest advantage the civic had. I would put money on that GTR winning the same exact race if they switched drivers haha. The driver on the GTR braked too early and looked scared around corners. The civic driver looked like he raced that track for years!
nycpark he probably has a really stiff sway bar at the rear. Stiffen rear suspension parts and you can get it to oversteer with a little weight transfer
Straight up witchcraft at play within the wheel wells of that Honda. Curious as to what their suspension, wheel and tire setup was in this race. Whatever it is sure looks to be paying off in all the right places. Great to see a fwd successfully putting down power while holding an aggressive line through the bends. 👌
Only the GTR driver gets smoked, because he dont know how to drive. Not the GTR itself. You think you could ever have a chance against GTR with your poor Civic?
I see people are bitchin about the GT-R possibly being stock. And yet, whenever a highly modded GT-R beats a completely stock mid-level Ferrari or Porsche, everybody accepts it as a fair n' square victory. Oh the double standards.

To all who are curious: I was digging through my old mags and found the HT article on this Civic. AH chassis with B16B stroked to 1.8 making 230 whp
How are you making 230whp when i make 220 with a tuned k24a2 setup and a few bolt ons
Apples to oranges. K-series to B-series. Ks will make 220 and even 250 whp with bolt-ons and almost minimal effort--they respond much better than B-series--plus your K24A2 makes 205 bhp to begin with (TSX, right?) The B16B is somewhere in the realm of 180 bhp stock--so even less whp in stock form. A jump to 230 whp is probably around 250-270 at the crank for this engine.

The GTR is a GT car as well, so great for road driving. It's good in a track but a Lil too heavy for tight bends etc...

I wouldn't say overhyped. When it came out in 2009 it destroyed just about everything on the road.
Nowadays though, things have changed.

Probably when he over took gtr, that gtr gearbox was already over heated lol
Was the finger necessary?
I must say u never ever swear corectly until u drive on the road or the track
Have you never scene the Japanese race?...they're always screwing around and having fun with it
I love the sound when the gear smashes in
great driving man!!!! fantastic car!! sounds awsome!
damn so many honda fanboys hopping on this video to talk down quicker than flies on shit
Daniel Alfaro because people always talk shit about hondas.....
So why be just as childish and do the same back?
Comon guys your comparing a full bread race car... The civic of course is setup perfectly for this track and very light weight id say around 2000 pounds with all that weight reduction as opposed to 3800 pounds the GTR has. I think you guys need to compare a mildly tuned gtr and this civic to really have an argument.
So you're making an excuse for the twin turbo v6, with one of the best awd systems in the world with a super computer that continuously monitors traction and shifts faster than a pro driver??
Is the 4 banger, fwd, naturally aspirated in a an advantage here??
lol oh lord
Johnny Salvattore And thats how you END an argument before it even starts WELL SAID! Anthony .Nguyen Don't even bother responding there's nothing u can say that will be better
Johnny Salvattore Think you are forgetting the biggest advantage the civic had. I would put money on that GTR winning the same exact race if they switched drivers haha. The driver on the GTR braked too early and looked scared around corners. The civic driver looked like he raced that track for years!
fuglyjerm There's a lot of "if"s in races, the video only shows one outcome.
But I agree with your last point.
the gtr will always cost you 90k to 100k
it does not matter if you spend 40k on a civic, it will always cost 10k
Love the sound of a nicely tuned Honda VTEC engine. Listen to that little pinger go!
Love the guys hand motions. He is having fun!! lol
Fuck yeah that gtr deserves that middle finger! Lmao
I'm more amazed at how this civic handles! It handles like RWD. Wonder what's been done to the suspension. Great driving, too!
nycpark he probably has a really stiff sway bar at the rear. Stiffen rear suspension parts and you can get it to oversteer with a little weight transfer
Him flipping the gtr guy was funny as hell lol
just banging those gears, the car lurches forward during most of his up shifts. professional
K20 all motor.. A 2.0 4 banger just SMOKED a super car... You guys mad??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
+Dom Toretto Dont sound like a K
b16b
+f2b.....f20bEG Even more impressive.
Philippe Pageau-Bonin They should of made that b18c Type R a 2 liter from the factory. Shit would of been a monster.
Nope. The B18C5 was perfect from the factory.
gtr r35 noob pilot
3.8 V6 (530 Hp) 4WD 1740kg
Lawsuit Right now work out the power to weight vs 4 cylinder (280hp) and 860kg
just proves that its all about driver skill, not always the car or its computers
Straight up witchcraft at play within the wheel wells of that Honda. Curious as to what their suspension, wheel and tire setup was in this race. Whatever it is sure looks to be paying off in all the right places. Great to see a fwd successfully putting down power while holding an aggressive line through the bends. 👌
Only the GTR driver gets smoked, because he dont know how to drive. Not the GTR itself. You think you could ever have a chance against GTR with your poor Civic?
So what you're saying is that the car doesn't matter. Gotcha.
SuperKanuuna tf bro its a modified civic that brakes and corners wayyyy better than that gtr xD
Safety Blox Or the driver only in gtr sucks, like you
SuperKanuuna he just did dummy!!!
The Honda was annoyingly noisy... the GTR had to let it pass!
lol dont be hating.
Love the sound of that engine buaaaaaahhhhhh 🔰
+Jdm Civic sounds beautiful....
+mono19963 sounds good to me too
gtr is worse than civic.a poor little cheap car can win a expensive car
Shahril Azmir excuses excuses.
Anyone can make a "geo metro" faster than any car out there, but its the platform you build off of that makes a car special.
Respect! By the way Sabelt Acropolis steering wheel?
Haaaaaaa! Honda " SUCKS"!
John Moore lol someone's been smoked by Hondas before. Lol it hurts I know
Wow you guys are special. He put sucks in quotes, genius.
is not sucks man every manufacture car always have sucks
Muhammad Irfan Lol holy shit the comment above you literally just explained how this guy was joking. Dumbass.
this guy is a mad man! amazing driving skills.
More like Gtr-r35 driver vs civic driver-- gtr driver gets smoked!
God damn that person was moving.
Great video
This guy is the Nate Diaz of racing; throwing up the middle finger.
