Street race-Civic vs. Ferrari *video*

Supposedly it's an all motor Civic that beats a F355. I think the Ferrari just didn't take him seriously until he saw the Civic's taillights.

Imagine if that guy posted on this board. Twenty people would've jumped on him. Quoting numbers and shit, saying how it isn't possible etc., etc., OH Dayyyum is right. $235,000.....I would've loved to see the look on that guys face when that 20k car was in front and there wasn't shit he could do about it.

That video is so old. I have it. I heard the Civic had an engine swap and all redone. Pretty cool though.

Yup it's a 2yrs old vid, but still it's cool seeing a Honda put a smacked down on a Ferrari..but, but if they went for a top out speed i think the honda will it dust just my 02 cents...

well, we all know that David slew goliath by flinging a stone at him from across the field. but let's just imagine what would have happened to dave if goliath's hand was wrapped around his neck.
I agree with dave-o. i think the ferrari was just horsing around while the civic meant business. classic case of the tortoise and the hare.

True, it is nice to see someone who is so smug in their car be beat by clear underdog. That's why people fix up their beater ass Hyundais and Saturns. But that is only straight line, easy to make lots of power harder to put it down in a turn....if they went around a 1 mile radius with an even amount of straights and turns...that Civic would have crashed on the first sweeper.

Dayum.. whether or not the Ferrari was really trying, he knew it was a race. It did look like the Ferrari was gaining. Still sweet though...

So if I break out a DEagle, cap your ass at the starting line, and then run the 1/4mile at 5mph and win with an ET of like 1minute, I still won, right?
