Get him on a quarter mile drag strip & let's find out?

What ever you do - do not race on the public highway!!

Civic will be vastly superior in the twisties and braking department but you will have longer gearing.

07> isnt that much lighter than a 850 T5.

Civic only has 190nm stock and it wont be developed over as much as the rev range as the your mapped T5 which should in excess 370-400nm from 3k to about 5500rpm.

Depends on the drivers.

[wegal]

Never had a problem against one, they seem pretty slow to me, bit quicker to 30, but after that its an easy kill.

This.

They are very nippy - so to speak. I am a moderately fat £££££££ and can also run quite fast - but it takes me a while to build momentum (brakes a bit dicey too - so don't get in the way): this is a fundamental demonstration of why the 850 and the Civic perform differently. 850 = fat £££££££, Civic = skinny git.

He will run out of steam before you though. But save it for the strip.

my freind has one it is quick tho that paticular typeR is slower than an ep3 typeR have had a mile dual with an 05 ep3 also a freind and left him sitting from top end of second and full third and fourth,and yes private road /airstrip,standard manual t5r
intrestingly we are planning another day of drags at this location with all freinds in attenndance inc
integra type r 99
civic typer 05
civic typeR 09
evo 6 99
evo mr 05
vectra vxr 08
850 t5r 95
just to see who has the quickest of cars lol they are all mainly standard.

Best bet is a rolling start up to as higher speed as you can.

If yours is chipped and in good condition, you should have the edge once rolling - especially at higher speeds as yours is the heavier more powerful car.

Your in gear torque will see him off - esp if he's not perfect at shifting the cogs.

Civic will prob get a better takeoff if going from a standstill.

Everyone slags then for no torque, but put a decent driver behind the wheel and they're certainly not slow.

Depends on what mods it has. I'v embarressed a 59 plate type r in my s70r (when it was standard) and mines an auto.

Get him to go to a 1/4mile next year and you'll find out.

[p fandango]

on the 1/4mile it'll be a walk over, we had a Volvo day at the Pod before & clashed with aload of Type-R. Some of them had quite a lot of money spent on them (supercharged) & lost

[T5frankie]

the new type r is slower than the old one ive raced a few and its neck and neck with a standard v70 t5 up to 130 then it by bye your car is remapped so it wont stand a chance mate

That reminds me, of the couple of standard typr r's i'v seen on the 1/4mile they are a late 15's car.

they really that slow? that's disappointing... do you remember what terminal speeds they were scoring?

a 15 second standard road car isnt really that slow is it mate that still 0-60 in 7 secs or so

Not a Civic type R but I had an Integra Type R last summer and on a twisty high speed section of road i was glued to my friends S70R which was Rica mapped......from 60-100mph there wasnt a deal in it.

On the motorway i would get murdered by the Volvo but wheres the fun in that??

Im neither for or against either car, They both have good a bad points but are very different cars built for very different purposes and really shouldnt be compared.

a local lad has a 247bhp civic type r and its a monster round the bends, a friends 400bhp r32 gtr couldnt get near him

[martybelfastt5]

any typeR round twistys would be stuck to a t5 if not in front as they are race bred and set up for track way more than any 850/s70 ect straight line different story

[T5frankie]

the japanese only civic type r is a saloon only with 222bhp and 163mph
