Like before, John's car is more modified than the other competitor's car, giving him the edge. The Corolla did great considering it is the underdog here.
When the GR first came out everyone was so sure it was gonna dethrone the CTR. Boy we’re they wrong. There’s just something special about the CTR. Even the Morizo Edition can’t take down the CTR. I do like both tho.
Even if both 100% stock, the R is just quicker, as its 'Ring time indicates. 7:44 at the 'Ring cannot be matched by any other hot hatches and is quicker than over 90% of BMWs ever made (fun fact there).
Love my GRC but the slight power difference and less drivetrain loss makes the FL5 a bit faster especially around track with more sweeping corners and longer straights.
@@christopherbassit2757 yeah, that’s why I think if they were evened out, same mods, tires, etc. it’d be super close. Especially if it was a tight track. GRC is already faster 0-60 and quarter. I am jealous of that interior though lol. Just can’t justify the price (with mark up) since I got my GRC at msrp.
@@Marcos_Cerna I also am jealous of the interior but it’s really not as bad as people are saying. I might trade mine for a 2024 CE if given the option because I’m really digging that new blue color with the blue interior stitching.
@@christopherbassit2757 yeah. I just can’t justify if I have to pay mark up. I hate the red stitching on CR and Morizo. I’ll just get some nice buckets for mine and call it a day the rest of the interior is the same.

GR weights more 3,265 type R 3,190 GR has less hp 300 type R 315 GR 10.88 lbs/ hp R 10.12 lbs/hp This factor likely makes a difference (perhaps 2 seconds-:)???
@@repingers9777 Right, lets disregard all the Honda engineers who designed the suspension strictly for the racer enthusiast, not some mass market commuter car.
Thanks Mike! That day was so much fun! John is a great driver and formidable opponent (and a super cool dude). I left it all out there and don’t feel like I did the car a disservice by being the one behind the wheel. The CTR is simply a faster car for track work. I got to drive one after this and am very impressed by how fast they are. On paper, the cars are similar in weight and power but they don’t feel very similar from behind the wheel. No regrets with the GR4, though. I didn’t get it thinking it would be a good track car and currently loving rallycross where it absolutely shines!
I'd say the biggest factor is the proper wheel HP of the 2 cars, even though the GR is AWD, the Civic had more HP to the ground so it pulled away in the straights, that all adds up after a few straights. If this were a tighter track I think the GR would have been much closer or would have won. Oh and CW's sure do help with confidence and those longer sweeping turns to keep speed.
Incredible video!! You guys killed it!! In January I traded my 2019 FK8 type R and bought a new FL5!! I love it a lot! I was fortunate to get my FL5 at msrp without any add-ons! I bought my last FK8 Type R and a few different Civic Si’s over the past decade from them! I have a great relationship with them! I like my FL5 quite a bit more than my FK8! The GR Corolla looks incredible as well! I haven’t seen one in person but I am definitely a fan! Great comparison you guys! Keep up the amazing content! I look forward to the next video! 🚙👍🏼😀🔥
I own an FL5 so I am probably biased but every timed track comparison I’ve seen the CTR has been faster. I am still a big fan of the GR Corolla and would be proud to own one.
Loads of reason civic is quicker here the civic is lower and more sleek that probably makes less drag for starters, more power better suspension, worst comparison is having different drivers tho if you want to compare cars atleast put the same driver in each preferably a racing driver or some type.

Faster for sure on Civic. The Honda Civic has coil overs and the Honda is wider base. But corolla looks lighter. Some coil.overs, front and rear strut bars. And lighter wheels will make a big difference.
There’s. No point to compare the GR Corolla with the Honda type R because Honda is a superior machine ! The Corolla is just a Toyota (point a to b vehicle) with some performance upgrades !

Crazy to think that a stock Elantra N would come and run a faster time than the FL5 and GRC in the most recent head to head y’all did. LOL. It took the FK8 being tuned on 275’s to be only 1 second ahead. That’s pathetic for the type-R honestly

Ya the corolla isn’t winning stock for stock either

I would argue with these cars stock suspension is not a disadvantage
Is a 1.6 Lt vs 2.0 Lt, both cars are incredible, the best we have this year, but the corolla surprises, love that rally beast💥
And everyone says Honda shoulda went AWD on these last 2 CTRs.....
CTR with coilovers is a game changer in this run as everyone knows, and CTR with 40NM more HP. Both great, but both different class
Exactly, it doesn’t need to. It’ll just be extra weight, cost and complexity.
At least rwd. Ctr is alot bigger now than what it used to be
Both are awesome cars I think the Corolla is more for rallycross
type r smokes on corners.
Love my GRC but the slight power difference and less drivetrain loss makes the FL5 a bit faster especially around track with more sweeping corners and longer straights.

Both cars are so amazing, i would love both, BUT, who's car is going to the autocross later?
GR corolla is classed B street since stock front camber can be adjusted to -2.5 degrees. CTR is still D street.
I’ve since run the GR at rallycross and it’s a blast. That’s where this car excels.

Faster for sure on Civic. The Honda Civic has coil overs and the Honda is wider base. But corolla looks lighter. Some coil.overs, front and rear strut bars. And lighter wheels will make a big difference.
