Interesting... cause.. a civic has NOTHING on a gt-r.

funny you say that, a stripped out civic with a tuned engine can dangle a track pretty well. I take it you haven't seen the stripped out Integra Type Rs pump track times?

Now im not arguin a civic is comparable to a skyline , just its not that bad, everyone used to bad mouth NSXs but we have seen those damage some higher powered cars around the track. btw nice video. Its like the Rally B class for me, i wish they still had that :(

Yea did u watch the video? Those gt-r's walked over all the civics.. wasn't even a race. I'm also well aware of what an integra type r is capable of.

they are not merkurs, they are real sierra cosworths. Nice video

if you watch the skylines pretty much walk everything, and if the final credits i believe a civic is top 5 . Never said civic was range of the gtr but in the group A racing compared to the others wasn't too bad. This was a reason why the skylines were eventually given the kick and they started there own series.

My mistake.. maybe i should have consulted the merkur expert.

Thus why i was suprised gt-r's and civics were together...

i dont see how a civic and a gtr can race in the same class.

the civic would need a 2.5L
