@throtl

We always say this is the epitome of THIS vs THAT but this time… IT LITERALLY IS! We have a REAR WHEEL DRIVE Honda Civic VS a FRONT WHEEL DRIVE Honda Civic! Our friends at @throtl brought out their insane K20A2 powered Honda Civic EK Hatchback EK9, the wildest part about it is they converted it to RWD WITH air conditioning. This thing is covered in carbon fiber and weighs almost nothing. On the other side of the strip we have Royer’s super clean and super well built Honda Civic Hatchback EG6. This one is still FWD and he swapped a stroked and supercharged B18C1. Let’s find out if the Honda Civic should have come FWD or RWD from the factory.

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

Don’t forget the complete lack of predictability of what they’ll do from one moment to the next. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a Honda run a 15, followed by a 9, followed by an 11 while missing a shift and spinning tires, followed by a 13 while blowing up. They’re GREAT cars, but when you make them fast they’re schizophrenic sticks of sweating dynamite.
