@Eric Esposito boost kicks in really low so it makes peak tq around 2000-2200 rpm. The reason it takes a second for the type r to pull on the challenger is the manual trans. The ctr has a fairly short gear ratio so once you get into 3rd/4th is when you'll see it pull away. 1 and 2 are short

@@skittlesrainbowunicorn6129 Looking at the shoulder of the tire, you can see that they are pretty smooth, so it must be a semi-track or track tire. I found out that having stickier tires give less torque steer, but then, I have a V6 accord (few mods) and complete different (stock) dif than a Type R. Higher offset does add a bit more torque steer but it looks stock on this Civic. I do not do track with it, just road use. Tires are TW200 on my car. 18" on that Civic is much better than the 19" or 20" wheels it comes with. Any way, no pro here, I just like cars.

Being an American, this is the funny thing about most of us...we only care about going in a straight line. The fact is, the R isn't designed to be a drag car. Sure, you can tune it and mod it to be, but it's designed to be a more affordable track car. On top of that, when driven normally, gets about 40% better fuel economy. Might not matter to everyone, but that's what makes the R fun. Good daily driver(economy/handling wise), that can also spend a weekend on the track. The scat pack is a boat, that goes fast in a straight line. To each their own, but these cars are for completely different mindsets.

You guys gotta account that the CTR is manual which is “supposedly” slower 😉

Sam...stop at Tim Hortons for an extra coffee and sugar coated 🍩 before the race, LOL

[@Desmondv221]

Now race the same tuned civic against a tuned scat pack. 👍👏

[@Inevitable_95]

You missed the point of the video, scat may be heavier but it has 4 more cylinders and 4.4L more displacement = more HP/torque plus it costs more than the R, The R gives the Scat a run for its money in a straight line and can go to the track where it mops the floor with the scat, nice try though 👍🏼👏🏼

@@Inevitable_95 The weight difference is about 1,100 pounds, which is massive. The price difference between a 2020 Type R (starting at $37k and 2020 Scat (starting at $39k) is $2k…not small but not huge. It comes down to preference, does one want old school looks, sound, and performance versus fast n furious ricer looks with great overall performance. The exterior design takes away from a great vehicle…sometimes less is more.

[@Inevitable_95]

@@taxinator5858 The challenger has 100 more HP and torque, power/weight ratio slightly favors the type r but this video is a little 4 banger vs a beefy v8, plus the challenger in this video is $50k much higher than the type R, and idk why everyone calls the type R a ricer, a ricer is a wannabe fast car, but the R is one of the fastest cars around the track, it’s not a Toyota Corolla with a wing, give it its respect. Nothing against the Scat, but this tuned R is fast in a straight line and can post killer track time the Scat can’t. I value your argument but at the end of the day it’s a 4 banger bs the big bad v8

[@djzulumask2138]

@@Inevitable_95 type r’s are 40k plus…so they are pretty much the same price as a scatpack….

[@Inevitable_95]

@@djzulumask2138 Scat packs here in Texas go for about $45k, up to $50k with markups on some colors or the 50th anniversary, the wide body scat is +$50k, my Honda dealer offered me a type R fresh off the truck for $38k which is MSRP. So $7k-$12k isn’t “pretty much the same” . I’m not trying to argue or invalidate anyones claim on which is the better car, I was simply saying a $38k R with $3k in mods performs nearly as well as a Scat.

[@CharlesWilson-oz8ys]

I came here after racing a boosted type r he didn't win cus I beat him several times by around a car length but maaaaaan that cat fast he was keeping that gap from getting bigger but couldn't beat me.

[@lordwhatever3957]

2:38 owner said 380 wheel HP not BHP

[@vroomgc]

Actually he said 380 hp 382 wheel torque. So its hard to know if its 380 bhp or whp

[@taylorasbury4980]

@@vroomgc those mods and custom tune should yield about 380 whp

[@vroomgc]

@@taylorasbury4980 What is the base whp for the type r ?

[@danielmelendez9943]

Type R has good bones+ driving skills and the challenger is a much heavier car, although great power but seems sluggish

[@dylanknight4752]

Not surprising at all lol tuned 4 bangers beat v8 muscle all the time.

[@anthonymeyers3529]

Type r not stock and it has some top-of-the-line aftermarket stuff you have the right part to your car it can be a beast

330i vs Mustang Ecoboost

[@slowdailys7914]

Everyone's impressed about the Civic but I guess no one payed attention to the numbers it made on the Dyno. I say the Scat Pack did awesome for being stock, heavy & having a bad driver lol

[@Arturito2017]

I’ll still take the challenger

Why wouldn't anybody who's not a metrosexual?

[@ericbryant796]

Lesson learned here is don't try to manual shift an auto...best to just let it do the shifting.
