@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

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.

Wow nice video great race. I take civic any day tho bcus of its reliability and gas efficient it'll get me farther and longer for sure..

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.

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

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 ?

[@BigJoe2.0]

As someone who has owned both turbo 4s and v8s my advice is to just go with the bigger engine. Yes turbo 4s can be faster with a tune and such but still even after that they aren't faster than any newer v8 sports or muscle cars.

Imagine wasting 38,000 only to still need a tune and other mods to keep up with a scatpack lol stock vs stock challenger faster

Hey I'm a American car guy the Challenger is a nice car but you have to consider if you compared the power of the 392 to something like a 592ci the 392 would not do as well as the SI did against the 392

@Eric Esposito 50 times a day ? LMAOOO smocking crack. Mopar more parts

[@N.S4L4S]

LOL. the truth is that THIS is all the Challenger is good for....and how boring when the modern version does 99% of that FOR YOU. The Civic has it here, is a five door, better on fuel, is MUCH faster (even stock) around any track, will MAINTAIN its value and last MUCH longer. Sorry but the Scat is boring AF. I only spent around $5k total and have over 400whp and wtq on a dynojet (not as many well know tuners in canada maybe?) and would light this skat up in the ONE area it has. I also was fortunate enough to get my car at MSRP because it's black. ;)

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 👍🏼👏🏼

[@taxinator5858]

@@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

[@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.
