no probs TT

well,i just watched the video again,this is a tough call.the other 2 cars are an audi RS4 and an M3 BMW,he gets in behind them to get a slip stream effect.

to me,personally i think its genuine

I think it's real, as gis said, it's the slipstream effect of the BMW...really cool video though...thanks for sharing

It can be real, slipstream help a lot and the cars where pretty close, so it can be real...

BTW, the sound of that Civic... I have to say I never saw a new gen Type R flat out, but it seems so "open"...

Sounds like a landmower...and it's not because it's a 4 cylinder, it's civic's they sound like that, if not check out the Alfa's 4 cylinder, that's a sweet noise..

Looks real to me. I wouldn't be surprised if a Civic could go that fast.
