Civic is terrible off the line. It's a good track car in the dry from a rolling start. It's crap in the wet, crap from launch, crap on the rally stage, it's overpriced tbh, people only buy it if they aren't able to get hold of a Yaris.
Wait, did I just watch a video where the title matches the content and got straight to the point without 18 minutes of babbling into selfi cam with annoying music in the background?
High powered FWD = awful off the line. Could go faster than it did in this video (although Yaris still wins every time I'd imagine) but in the real world it'll never happen. Even out of low speed corners that thing really wants to spin the front wheels up, although the apex speeds are pretty impressive. Got to get myself a go in the Yaris soon...

Yaris wins when it matters the most, the traffic light race to 60km/h.

Maybe they changed it, but what’s wrong with the thumbnail?
I think we can all say we have been waiting for this for a long time
Mate , you're thumbnail got messed up , you people got the type r on the supra and vice versa

Only Mat.

Holy shit. A RUclips drag race video that's only as long as it has to be? Carwow could learn a lot.
You can't put a price on that advice...

@@tizodd6 nah I'd have the yaris, already have a bmw, a shame they didn't make a japanese supra

[sad American noises]
That GR pulled hard, but like most figured the Supra would take it. Nice sample of the three cars.
Not if, but when. I live in Australia and seen it a few times now. Supra always wins by reeling it in. Quite quickly actually....
The BIG question is: what's the camera car that's keeping up?
Bro that Yaris is so fast off the line.
It just squats & goes!

Agreed. That is not its strength. They still okay against most other FWD hot hatches.
