Can The Civic Type R Hunt Down The VW Golf R In A Drag Race?

The new Honda Civic Type R has definitely turned a few heads at the CarBuzz office. The 2.0-liter 306-horsepower turbocharged VTECH engine makes the new Civic not just a match for today’s hot hatchbacks, but even a brand new BMW M3.

Obviously with such tremendous performance the new Civic Type R can easily defeat the old king of hot hatchbacks, the Volkswagen Golf R, right? The Golf R is down on power to the Civic (290 hp to 306 hp). But the Golf R gets to 60 mph faster (4.9 seconds to the Civic’s 5.7).

Thank AWD for the fast time!Despite the power disadvantage we bet that the VW will give the new Civic a run for its money. In a drag race, AWD and VW’s quick DSG are hard to beat? Which one of these hot hatchbacks will be the winner?
