Pay close attention to the lap times at the end.

a couple more laps and the Speed would have got the BMW for sure

I love how calm they are talking while they are doing those speeds!! :chuckle

With the big boost in HP, I dont understand why Mazda doesn't make the MS3 AWD

Thats a stock civic Type R. The modded ones will probably run 1-2 secs faster then the stock type R

199lbs

Civic - 2945lbs

MS3 - 3153lbs

[Kevin@nextmod]

type R = 1270kg = 2794lb
speed3 = 1432kg = 3159lb

A difference of 365lbs

This is about the CTR civic and the speed3. Not the civic Si and speed3

Quite significant enough to offset that extra 40HP.
