Anyone seen this before. YouTube - Accord type-R vs power up Fabia rs vs M3

I have now

Yep - I seen it before. I think the accord and the M3 got bad starts IF the fabia is only 190hp like claimed. Noticed it had a side exit exhaust though.

What does your car make type rs look like jason?

I just don't see it myself. I'm sure I've seen elsewhere that that car was running a lot more than 190bhp. Even if it was running 260bhp, I'd still expect an M3 to give it a better run for it's money than that, surely?

I can give type R's a good seeing to usually. Not in the realms yet of handing them their backsides on a plate - It will keep up with a CTR no problems - in a straight line anyway.

That's not my car in the vid. I'm sure that's from a drag event ran in Czech Republic - on the Mimon airfield, that I and a few others here, have actually driven down, just not on an organised event like this.

Sorry, I was asking how your car compares to Civic Type Rs on 1/4 mile runs - was looking to compare your 260hp car to the 190hp (claimed) in the video

I have seen your car on youtube doing some 1/4 mile runs... haven't I? Or am I dreaming of things?

I'd say thats running more than 190brake.

Dont forget though, that cant be true as CTRs are the fastest thing on the planet

Are you being modest Jason? Or joking? Seriously - CTR's didnt have a look in against mine :confused:

Probably modest, but then I have never really messed with one properly. I just know my car can be quick when it wants and conditions allow. Have been spinning up 2nd gear all night tonight without much effort. Now is not the time to be racing CTRs I think - maybe from 70 - 130.

Atleast you can get grip, i run mine round in front wheel drive most of the time a but at the min it takes till 90-100mph ish in 4th till it starts to get grip :thumbdwn: (on a track of course)

Remember that a remapped vRS has more torque than a standard M3. My car will pull away from Type R's between 30-70mph in third.

and? a Merc Citaro has something like over 1000Nm of torque
