Default '12 3.7l v6 VS '04 gt + k20swap hatch civic

Well, the bench racing finally came through this time! Even got an extra run in too! Both guys are buddies of mine. All in good fun.

The video is pretty detailed as to the mods of all the cars involved. One thing to keep in mind, is the weight difference we had going on. My brother and I are about 590lbs of man, lol, so we outweighed the mustangs driver/passenger by about 250lbs, and the civic's by about 200-220. Also, the civic has gone 8.20s on street tires, and 12.5 @ 108 on slicks... fwiw anyways.

Here are the vids. One video wouldnt work right for my brother, who made the video again for me. So he just uploaded it on his youtube. Also, Im sorry, but for whatever reason (song I guess?), the video is not viewable from mobile.

Man, great runs and a little closer than I thought with the 2v. You didn't pull till you hit third.

The 330 pounds of man meat in the passenger seat didn't help the 3.7 any lol but it made for one hell of a race!!

Good runs bro good driving and and the car is running great for sure!!

This video illustrates why I hate civics. They sound like lawnmowers, but properly done they'll haul!

Good runs, just wish you had been running lighter so we could see your 3.7 pull those guys. Considering that k20 has gone 108, and you were able to stay so close with you and Brandon in the car...makes you wonder.

That run has def perked my interest as to what my car will do at the track. I know its nowhere near the civics 12.5 et, but that trap... could be close. Guess we'll see here soon!
