I was thinking about your first point too. And it does make sense but does not detract anything from the Civic.
Theres no point everyone going on about laptimes etc as im sure no one's going to think any less of the GTR regardless so in the end the point is moot. That Honda is a very fast car for what it is and end of story as far as I see it. So lets just look at this objectively and just watch the video without taking anything too seriously. Its not that the video maker was putting the GTR down or bragging about how his fullsik 1.6L 4 potter beat a 3.8L twin turbocharged supercar. He just wanted to show what his Civic could do and he picked a fast car to compare to which just happened to be a GTR.
I have no idea why everyone is getting so defensive
And to the 2nd point above, its not as though the OP was all vtek4lyf, he probably just wanted to share a video which offered some entertainment value. I for one enjoyed the video, so much appreciated to the OP. Posting something does not automatically mean he is a diehard fan of what was posted.
