All civics pull hard in 3rd. No torque. I used to get burnt of the line from v8's but stay tuned Im coming after you.

Good footage. Car sounds great.

Funny, you just reminded me when a buddy of mine took me out for a quick run in his hatchback civic. As soon as he dropped the hammer in 1st gear, his Dashboard on the passenger side literally landed on my lap. That's when I learned about the "oh s#*+" bar! He was dying of laughter because I was just in shock of what was going on. It was fun and terrifying at the same time.

Lol seriously? Made 393whp on a stock block LS (non-vtec 1.8) for 4 years of track abuse trouble free, and the person who bought it after my part out threw a supercharger on the same motor for another couple. All about the tuning, which Honda has had for decades, unlike Lexus

Not a big fan of 4-bangers since I got my F, but this SC'd 360hp Civic just popped up for sale recently in our area...
Actually quite clean.
