Mid range is where the Civics loose out, that video is a good demonstration of that. They are rolling along, and both plant it, the Supercharger is constantly spinning so power is instant, the CTR needs a while to reach 7,000rpm where peak power is, ya see?

I think you will find gear ratio plays a massive part in 1/4 mile

How ever much this is true, how do they still do good in races when I thought its the Torque that wins races? My mate has a 1.8 type r lump in his eg civic which should be about 197bhp/ 142 lb/tq or something around those figures, totally standard. anyway and he ran a 14.3 yet mine 20xe corsa, running 151 bhp / 147 lb/tq and I couldnt do better than a 15.3. I dont know how, but they work and they work well IMO.
Its down on power the last time it was done up here rich
was putting out 162bhp/150lbft then got it done about 3 weeks later and it made exactly 1 less lol
15.3 is still pretty quick tho, I raced a civic type R in the corsa for 20+ miles on the private road and there was absolutly nothing in it

xe not quite as quick as a type r with mild mods. most lets would see them depending on weather you can drive or not.lol
v-tec... xe on mild cams v similar. if your caming an engine its not as if you wont bottom end torque its uusally more high end power your after.

soz m8 but they didnt come in a 2.0 on that reg, prob a 1.5 vtec or 1.6 vtec,,,yea they do lack torque but when it hits 5.4k, then its a diff story,
