Absolute crap!

The civic sounded fast but on acceleration it was slow as hell, and the evo was not at full acceleration, my wifes Chrysler Voyager can go faster than that!!!!!!

Agree with Mark, that evo wasnt giving it anything, the civic did sound fast but wasnt, just look, all that noise and the truck in the last shot was nearly as quick and thats restricted to 56mph!

I saw plenty of trucks doing 80mph when I was in the US last week

Having said that, the Evo clearly isn't trying!

It can be surprising how fast Hondas can be

The noise indicated he was shifting but the evo was not anywhere near full throttle, I doubt he was doing over 4000 revs.

Agree, that was BS. The speed they were going was nothing. It didn't even look like they were gaining on the truck!!!

Lots of loud pedal from the Civic and that's about it

PMSL, I had a run-in with an EVO6 when I had my STi5 RA (which was quick) the EVO made me look like I was going backwards

Plain to see in this vid it's not even trying...
