Default Red GT3 vs ruded up civic - Bmth

Just on the off chance anyone knows either of these cars, looked like a very tuned up civic with a Japanese lad driving, giving a red GT3 some big stick earlier. Was on the dual carriageway from Bmth to Tower Park on the other side of the road to me. Looked like fun! Would be interested in the result...

Yours red Mad Gypsy?

It was white, didnt see the wheels or the zorst. It did sound a bit tasty though! I know what people do to those Civics (Fast and Furious stuff!) but intrigued as to what...

Followed one through Creekmoor on Sunday. The owner had certainly spent some cash on it

Not me, but 99% sure who owns the GT3. God himself couldn't create a civic that could keep with a GT3.

Can't be arsed to look at the link, but please don't try and compare a bread van to a GT3.

If you could get one to keep up with a GT3 (I don't think for a second you could), you'd have to be a crack addict to do so.

if you can't be bothered to check facts the don't bother posting bull**** bravado about porsche gt3. yes they are an immense car but don't be as pigheaded to think that money and knowledge will not make a faster car.

Mad, I have so say that although there is no doubt a GT3 is the nicer car to have, it was getting some stick from the guy in the civic. As I said, it wasnt the bread van - it was the earlier one.

I could put a blower or Garret conversion on my S2000 and trouble a GT3. Would I do it? No. But people do and for the precise rection ou have put - that you would be probably be a bit gutted from a performance point of view (not quality) that you'd been done by a Honda. Some of the big BHP scoobs on here would trouble a GT3. Theres an S2000 in the UK with 600 bhp at the rear wheels. Nowt is invincible.
