That is a nice little video. I'm not entirely sure what the comparison is though: Stock Civic Type R vs. modified EG with a B18C swap? Of course the EG would be faster.

Spoon loves those little videos. You'll notice that the old cars usually win.

It's hard to let go of the past.

The Spoon EG's were great, and the EK CTR was produced partly in response to their success.

I still love EG's. However, compared with modern cars like the EP3 and FG2, the EG is decidedly <u>un</u>crashworthy.

very true, however there are trade-offs and of course the newer the car the more 'crashworthy' it is. nothing a roll cage can't fix right?

ctr held in for quiet a while, not bad, considering the eg had a 1800cc engine and less weight than a ctr

I got a kick out of that, very "Initial-D like". The first driver reminded me of Bunta... I liked the in-car commetary, especially when he was laughing. Surprising how old the drivers are, considering the car and expected market of interest.
