blogentry-133713-0-78333900-1524990629_thumb.jpgCan a family hatchback keep up with a 13-year old supercar? Carwow has the answer to the question as it puts a 2005 Honda NSX up against a Civic Type R in a drag race.

 

With the NSX having 280bhp and the Civic Type R having nearly 320bhp, this might be a closer race than you would think.

 

Will the rear wheel drive traction and the faster respond time of a naturally-aspirated engine in the NSX be able to offset the power advantage of the Civic? Watch and find out!

Again, this test was hardly accurate nor a good rep of what the cars can do...

First, both cars seems to have their traction, stability controls switched on, notice the lack of wheel spin. These devices dampens acceleration quite a lot so that inexperienced or gunho drivers will not crash easily. Switching these devices off can easily net u better performance off the line if you know how to launch a high perf car properly. 

The Civic Type Ah Ler obviously had a distinct adv in power as seen in the rolling start, where traction control wasnt needed to prevent wheel spin

    Built in the 1980s, Bishan (or Bishan New Town) may not be one of the earliest housing estates in Singapore, but it was the first whose HDB architecture saw a departure from the more brutalist designs of the past and featured more variation in height and design.  Residents are primarily served by Junction 8, which opened in 1993. Now more than 30 years old, it remains the sole mall in the Bishan East area. Driving there? Here’s our quick review of the carpark.  Manoeuvrability: T
