The difference between some tunes can be up to 100hp on some cars and we’d never know.

It’s designed to be a track car, FWD reduces the weight. If Honda wanted to make a car designed for digs and drags and traffic light boy racer style races then Honda would be producing AWD Type-R’s.

Unless the Type R is Running Ethanol or an upgraded Fuel system there's no possible way for it to make 480bhp, if you account for drivetrain loss that's about 408whp. Without ethanol, or methanol, or a new fuel system the Type R maxes out at about 380whp

Too bad TCU tuned stinger are hard to do dig race like this since the Torque limiter for LC is not there.

[@thewho2482]

I love my Type R for the Handling and reliability

[@christianouellette9995]

Wondering if the Stinger has TCU tuned.

[@evanhill9442]

Can't wait to see when y'all bring the 2024 mustang onto the channel!

[@davothegreat9990]

How much of a head start did the civic want on roll race 2... 🤣🤣🤣

[@davothegreat9990]

@@jdomingues366 roll race not dig. Who the 🤡 now! You are...🤣🤣

[@KO-sx9uy]

They're still different niches, I'd prob get the type R cuz it'll dominate in the corners but the Stinger is tempting

[@Blue-moon12]

Why are you racing with it?

[@KO-sx9uy]

@@Blue-moon12 that’s what the type R is literally designed for

[@Blue-moon12]

@K O No it's designed to be a street car that you can take to the track, not the other way around. If you're not racing it the cornering stuff is pretty moot

[@KO-sx9uy]

@@Blue-moon12 Sure… the type R wasn’t designed for racing, and no people do race in the street even in Japan. I race on the track so I would pick the type R

[@Blue-moon12]

@K O That's fair enough mate, that was all I was asking haha. Cool that you are able to get to the track.

[@CurtisDishman]

I'm sure there are already plenty of comments inbound, but the 2017 GT has 435HP the 2018 had 460hp

[@SamCarLegion]

This is tuned

[@teehud313]

What kind of starts were those??????

[@kellyblack4897]

Where is that intro sound track? That was jammin’!

[@gian-lucbrasseur6200]

There should be a law against allowing MT to drag race.

[@PatriotPlus179]

Before watching the video, the Civic is mostly likely going to gap them both. Power to weight determines times, dictated a little by the driver.

[@acura4utoo]

Missed your presence in the video Sam. Are you working on your other channel, stroller drag racing?!!!

[@SamCarLegion]

😂😂 - microphone had one of those days

[@shaneducholke364]

Even though the Stinger is heavier, I guessed it would win from a dig with a good start as that auto transmission is strong and will gain a few tenths for every pull, other than the second race, he also had the best starts. The weight, lower torque and the auto really hurts it on the roll race as shown. The civic looks like it makes peak power and torque higher in the rev range which is tough to keep at in the first few geaes, especially if they are longer, but you could see the power hitting near the end of the race when he was probably holding longer in the 5500+ rev range. Mustang is solid n/a muscle that does well in both areas and results were more based on reaction times. Really impressive how 3 completely different cars are so very close. I would love to see a rematch with a few more races in each discipline and I think anyone could win any brace depending on reaction times

[@zelikovalex]

The launch is everything.

[@Eugen-E]

that civic doesn't have 480bhp )))
