sadly i know the outcome
had a run with a civic type r the other week on a private road of course, to about 65mph i just had the edge, then his v-tec came alive. Them babys rev to 9500rpm happily, 197bhp, NA car, and 6 gears to play with. He pulled away from me when my car was loosing out of breath. Fair play to him. We had 3 goes from the 3 sets of lights on the private road, each time was the same outcome....i had the edge upto appx 65-70mph then he got away. Got to the forth set of lights where i had to turn right, the thumbs up of appreciation from the civic driver was given. (yes it was the thumb, not the middle finger!) Respect to the v-tech. Looked bogo stock too.
My ibiza is 207bhp with 248lbft, it was a warm humid evening which wasnt helping my poor K03 either.
Im still happy with the cars performance, brings a smile to my face still.

I've got a chipped Ibiza, the bloke that sits next to me has a CTR. We both goto trackdays together and I beat him in a straight line, corners and everything, and he openly admits that my car is faster. I also have camera footage of me racing him at various trackdays.
Thanks
Ben

Civic R is a very tunable motor .

I've done a 14.8 @ 95.6mph in my CTR before. My 1/8 mile was 9.64, so it sounds like that CTR needs to get some practise in to me.Originally posted by Sim
As for "drag racing", my best was 9.8 secs on 200m run (1/8 mile), CTR did "only" 10.1s.

But you have a nice list of mods to go faster... is he bog standard?
