Say if two honda civics approach a motorway slip road parrallel to each other, one a Typre R @ 200BHP/142lb and the other a Diesel @ 190BHP/300+ lb  which would reach "70 mph" first???
Ive never driven the Type R but 300lb of torque is a hell of a lot!!! Maybe its a no brainer but just wanted to satisfy my curiosity |
If the type R driver is prepared (ie in 2nd at 40 mph) he will win. Otherwise IMO the 2.2 will get ahead before being caught as it runs out of revs after the type R has dropped a couple of gears!!
PS Pottsy has a video of that somewhere I remember
