i cba to turn my music off to watch, but from watching some of fifthgears old car vs bike reviews its a bit of a chocolate kettle affair, lets race a vole against a 1000cc superbike and see which wins?

That guy on the Fireblade wasnt even trying. More of a joke than a race.

I didn't know this car was that cool. It looks great too. I love the 7spokes rims. It made the car looks better than ever. It even makes more smoke than the Fireblade, why not! This car is also starting to grow on me. Need more videos but I'm sure when I'm picking a Hot Hatch, this should be on my top 3 list. =)

Well, what a video, I think it's old though, but anyway the Civic looks good in this one, in simmering red paint... it was quite quick around the track as well, but the driver stuffed up some parts in track lap which ruined it...

That was cool. But it was no suprise the bike won. That track was a very fast flowing circuit and the car just cannot match the bike on the straights and coming out of the corners. But i've fallen in love with the Type R now.:p

it can't be that old... the Type R has only been out for 4 months or so.

The problem is that they cannot be compared. Bike will always have better acceleration, car higher top speed and better cornering. Track was way to small for a car to do something better. Also NO WAY that the FWD car could beat a superbike round a track no matter how good it was, for that you need a Ferrari 599 or somethin'. But in general: CARS ARE FASTER!!! :P
