Probably the first video on YouTube showing the Type R drag / roll racing its hatchback brothers in England thanks to " Carwow ". I wish they had done more races to get a more times and closer competitors such as an evo, sti, 370z or other cars that are in the 35-42k price range. What do you guys think about how the Type R performed??

As expected. It would murder the competition on a roll race. I had being saying that way before the CTR was released.

How does that first few seconds make that significant of a difference. I don't know shit about cars.

Not the Audi
Totally killed the Civic.

Clearly the RS3 is the winner and costs 20,000 more than the Civic. Would like to see an RS3 drag race a GT350R or Hellcat Demon.

Im sure he was comparing it to the Golf R and Focus RS, shoulda been a sti, evo, 370z to make it more fair. The mercedes and audi are in a different class.

Did you see how boring that drag race was though? He literally does nothing but hold the steering wheel and looks around laughing at the competition. Drag racing can be so boring nowadays.

I dont think it would be fair they should all be manual. Also this is a FWD car vs all AWD cars is the R really that much over it's own class that the only closest competition is AWD cars? That's pretty awesome if you ask me. Now they should take all these cars on a track or circuit bet you the R would be one of the best if not the best out of the bunch!

Drag racing IS boring unless you are sub-10s. The greatest part about this is that the Type-R is most likely the fastest of all of these cars around a circuit, including the RS3, despite it being double the price.

I love the car from a tuning perspective due its 5 cyl.engine, APR had a kit for the older 5 cyl. in excess of 600 hp. BTH I think the 4 cyl. one found on the S3/Golf R is a better bang for the buck on the used market. Specially now with hybrid turbos touching 550+ hp. not far away from a heavier RS3.

I don't think the guy driving the ctr turn off traction control all the way, he prolly just turned off vsa the type r is around a mid 13 sec car stock not 14. I know this cause once i found out how to shut off vsa and tc my pulls is way different.
