U-Drag: Integra Type S vs. Civic Type R

[@edmundscars]

Which would you rather take home, the button-down-shirt Integra Type S or the tracksuit Civic Type R? Let us know in the comments!

[@CJLX805]

Acura for the win!!!

[@Mechaniclemaniac]

[@PRADA_G]

Got the Type S three weeks ago. The perfect car for a young professional!

[@Chasing-Red]

All 3 cars are great…TLX being the 3rd. The only difference, which car will not lose much in depreciation. I think the TLX Type S will depreciate more vs. the Type R or the Integra Type S. I prefer the Civic Type R more than the Inegra.

[@TheBreakfastLover]

Right now dealers are trying to sell Integra Type S for $60k or more, while the TLX Type S is selling for $55k or less. Personally, I'd rather save the $5k, and get the V6 Turbo, SH-AWD and all the extra luxuries.

On the second attempt, Acura moves a little and leaves earlier, the slightest movement benefits you. Gentlemen congratulations, excellent test and work 👍🇦🇷

[@cpcxgsr]

cars being almost identical in terms of power, winner goes to the better driver. In this case, it is the asian guy in the hat. When he was in the S, he was able to win the 1/4 due to his driving skill. Same applies when he was driving the CTR. The Integra jumped the start. But the CTR was able to basically win the 2nd part of race due to his proper late braking and corner exit.

[@frankbjr1250]

I’m old 😢 but I do miss the intake sound of a b series and/or k series. Yes turbo is faster, but it’s the feel and sound I miss.

Ifeel you i had a 4th gen prelude h22 and my 17 si doesn't even feel nearly the same

[@jm-alan]

Crazy what a difference AWD + auto makes in the the race - even from a rolling start the TLX was 3mph slower in the final trap despite being a full second faster I've dusted a couple Teggys on the highway in my TLX bc of the downshifting + lower boost threshold, but they're definitely catching up quick, and I'm sure a straightaway half mile would have a different result

[@jamwest3146]

I recently bought a Integra type S.. I really had a hard time deciding between the TLX Type S and the ITS. I have driven the TLX with all wheel drive, it was simply mind blowing the way it handled the road. Simply amazing. The fact that the TLX is an entirely original car - frame and mechanical torque vectoring and all- makes it , in my mind the best sedan available on Earth. Truly an engineering masterwork.

[@TheBreakfastLover]

AWD allows better launches but it also raises the curb weight, so lower trap speeds. RWD/FWD cars will trap faster because of less weight, but also launch slower.

[@jm-alan]

​@@TheBreakfastLoverYes, you can see when they introduce the TLX it has a full pound more per HP than the Integra. But, to blanket say FWD/RWD cars are faster is misleading; the TLX is particularly heavy in its class. An M340 xDrive would annihilate every car here and still be pulling in the top end, but I'll take the TLX frontend over the 3 series kidneys any day 😁

That Integra Type S is sick, great races guys.

[@DriverBob14]

Great video! I'd be curious to see what the results would be like with both cars on the same tire (either way). Also, it's clear the engine tuning on the Integra isn't just numbers some paper but essentially these are the same car with minor differences (purposes) from the factory. Either of them can become the other performance wise with a few tweak, so in reality it comes down to three things: 1) What styling you like more (pure opinion), 2) If you really believe assembly in Japan is that much better than in Ohio. Engine is made in Ohio either way. 3) How much you care about exclusivity/rarity/future value. For #3, the Civic will always beat out the Integra however for that reason, IMHO, it is the lesser choice of the two since it will be more sought out by car thieves, which they can then more easily ship it internationally since the Civic is a global platform and Integra is North American only.

[@Josh7oh4]

This was terrific to see. Thanks!

[@edmundscars]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jamwest3146]

Great video. The folks at Savage Geese tested these cars on a turbo and the Integra had 15 more Hp at the wheel at the top end. So, go figer.

[@doggystyledave]

That's what I'm saying

[@TheBreakfastLover]

Yup 15 more peak hp, and 30 more lb ft of torque on the low end.

[@sbklvr]

The type R wing has more drag than the type S. What's crazy is, I've seen a bone stock 00 civic Si run 14.9 back in the day @ Atco raceway.. my fbo 00 Si ran the same on 17 in Konig tantrums with completely bald kumho tires.with the cords showing, lol.

Acura should have put SH-AWD on the Integra Type-S. A little weight but you can see how it helped the seriously heavy TLX.

[@alexonstott4954]

They were staying true to the Integra heritage as a nimble FF tuner. Also they needed to keep some product differentiation between the tlx and teggy. I think if it sticks around long enough to get a new generation they'll loosen up and add sh awd, or maybe an option for it.

[@senorgato70]

@@alexonstott4954 but they needed to differentiate it from the CTR more.

[@MurderMostFowl]

I hear you and that would be awesome, but don't think the Civic frame could handle it. You'll notice if you look at the Integra type S specs compared to the ASPEC that They drop all sorts of features that cost weight just to be able to put in the bigger engine, better suspension, etc. The gone is the powered passenger seat, rear middle seat ( as a weight limit component ), the sunroof, memory settings, and more. All supposedly to save weight.

[@ftr911drvr]

The Integra didn't do much better than the WRX and BRZ for the price difference is it really worth it

[@lazarushernandez5827]

Great race! I wonder if you can add a rolling starting, that could possibly nullify any standing launch traction issues....

[@SINGH-ing]

Good thing you showcased the TLX Type S here too. It’s perfection with that V6 and SH-AWD. Sure it doesn’t have a manual but that makes it a perfect commuter. I wish it had the Concept S’s front end/fascia. That’s the only thing it lacks.

[@socalmrt]

I wonder if the aero(rear wing) may have caused more drag on the Civic Type R compared to the Acura Integra Type S.

[@commonduck10]

What if type S had those tires? It is what it is…

[@williamgechtman9287]

When dyno'd (Savage Geese, I think) the type S had a bit more torque in the mid-range. It also dyno'd at 10-15 more horsepower than the type R, not 5.

Phenomenal cars, but the dealers markups are abusive to say the least.

Performance number rundown for the tlx?

[@antoinelee-thomas9536]

They would be more like cousins in my opinion. The DE5 Acura Integra Type S is the cousin to the FL5 Honda Civic Type R.

[@roguedogx]

Before watching- my guess is that this is basically a draw, with maybe the acura having a slightly higher trap speed and the Honda cornering better.

[@roguedogx]

5:02 but the honda has higher areo drag, and at high speeds that makes a difference l.

[@PISCES-KING912]

Yessssir early morning with it

There's more focus on kid range power and torque in the Type-S vs the Type-R. From what I've read, there's a different cam gear used in the Type-S and that have helped out

[@ron2366]

So TLX type S it’s slower then Integra type S in roll race 110 mph vs 115mph.

[@ericmichel3857]

It was not mentioned but those Cup 2 tires may not have been an advantage in this test unless you guys warmed them up first? The cup 2 is not very sticky when cold whereas the MPS4 are good to go at room temperature. Probably would have been better to have both cars on the same tire since virtually no one is going to drive around on cup 2 tires.

[@Marbind]

Doesn't matter the trap speed alone was higher in the Acura. This is a drivers race. They can bring more CTRs and ITSs and the result will vary. Both cars are literally identical.

[@ericmichel3857]

@@Marbind I wasn't suggesting that, they claimed the cup 2 tires would give the FS5 an advantage off the line, and all I am saying is that is not necessarily true. In fact if anything it most likely hurt it off the line. Those tires are meant for road racing so the they have stiff sidewalls and the compound is made to work well when they are hot. Cold cup 2 tires are actually worse for drag racing (which they are not designed for), and even if they were up to temperature the stiff sidewall makes them very hard to launch well (especially with FWD). When they are cold they actually have less grip than the MPS4, and that combined with the stiffer sidewalls... This is why they are a terrible tire for street driving where they are almost never up to operating temps. So they wear quickly, are terrible in the wet, and offer less performance unless you are driving with extreme aggression for extended periods (which is not easy to do on the street and ill advised). Plus with the stiff sidewall they are not made for launching, they are for going around corners after one or two warm up laps. That is why he was complaining about wheel hop when launching the FS5. While you can use them on the street, it is a really bad idea. All I am saying is that they should have tried to warm the tires up before this test, and that whenever possible it is better to have all cars on the same (or at least similar tires), and that the cups 2 is not an advantage in this type of test, and if anything probably hurt it a bit. Regardless I agree these two cars are so close as to be irrelevant, I don't understand why anyone thinks this would be a meaningful comparison. We already knew this is the same basic car with different looks, one has better seats and one has a slightly softer suspension, and five more horsepower.

yeah but the power t weight ration is better in the integra. its faster than a tlx

The integra is more agile than the TLX. It can clock lower times around a track. That is reason behind the price. The ITS seems to be bigger in the outside but in the inside has the dimensions of a compact. The integra has more legroom believe it or not.

At 325 horse, 3600 lbs, it sits between the cars in weight, with slightly more horsepower than the integra but it's down on power against the TLX. Power to weight would be worse, but RWD and a lot more torque might help it out. I think it'll be closer than it sounds.
