600hp Chevy Caprice PPV vs LS VTEC powered Honda Civic EX // THIS vs THAT

Big thanks to NOS Energy Drink: drinknos.com
IG: / nosenergydrink
THIS Chevrolet Caprice started as an Australian police cruiser. THAT Honda Civic EX was rescued from the junkyard for $400. One has bulletproof doors, the other has an intake valve for a headlight. One’s got a supercharged L77 V8 engine, and the other? An LS VTEC with enough nitrous to boost the horsepower from 240 to 480! We got ourselves a race here, scumbags! Enjoy.
