I basically enjoy the fact that the ****us got spanked. Although there was a slight over-representation of the RSX Type-S, but I think it is a bad *** car to begin with so we will let that one go.

Unfortunately, its two-star drivability rating—due to sloppy steering, cacophonous engine noise, and crude manners—was also worse than any of us imagined. Still, it held together run after run and hit 130 mph repeatedly, which not every car can claim.
Two stars? I wouldn't mind the noise if I had that civic. Second place is still pretty impressive, though.

A full track preped ferriari would get a worse drivability rating, so that means nothing to me. I too wouldnt mind driving it, although give it about a half hour in traffic on a hot texas afternoon & i'd be begging for my civic again...but only in that situation.

The Comptech's 9000-rpm Formula 1 scream and 4.7-second 0-to-60-mph time ...
Did anyone else read the entire article? The Comptech S2000 came in 1st place! Damn

This has been on SpikeTV off and on for awhile now. This was called the C&D Super Flea challenge. There were a few more cars involved in this thing, like an S2000, a Miata, a WRX, and a few Evos. They're not listed here because they're either RWD or AWD.

they had the s2000 on the show as well but didn't see any stats on that.
It was the comptech yellow supercharged one.

edit:

my bad it was on page two for the higher class

This test is actually pretty asinine imho. They're not comparing stock cars to stock cars. To say the civic owned everything else but the rsx is partially true. In this test, that civic beat the other cars in the challenge. These cars used represent the tuners abilities more than anything else. AEM and Hasport did an amazing job with their Civic though. I'd be more impressed if it wasn't with the engine swap though.
