Guys, you need to watch the end 👌

If this guy continues to professionalize the no-fills, to the point, 0-60 comparisons, I'll guess he'll be at 1-2 million subscribers in a couple years. I love that he does multiple runs!

Proud civic 1.5T owner here 🤘

Awesome. I love a sleeper more than I hate a CVT. That was pretty unexpected but cool to see. Keep scrambling eggs because I think you are on the path for a pretty awesome omlet.

Man, that Civic sedan is clean. Very impressive build too. Love those wheels. The 10th gen looks so much better than the 11th. More modern looking exterior too, imo.

Honestly didn't expect the tuned Civic 1.5T to come back so strong each time lol. Stock Type R traps 104-108mph and stock Veloster N manual traps at 100-104mph depending on the mileage on the car. With a tune and downpipe it should be be worth another couple mph. The way the 1.5T passes both these cars in the middle of the race suggests it's a 110mph car lol. Amazing.

My guy driving the cvt was giving everyone the go. 😂

Me and my buddy who owns a 1.5t cvt civic did a run (I had a manual 8p a3 2.0t) and surprisingly we we’re head to head the whole time. Honda really builds beasts

Fantastic race Sam! That silver cvt civic kick ASS Amazing.

Past few months, this has been my favorite channel on KZfaq. Always looking forward to the next one. (Especially if it involves a K5GT).

Love these races...it would be nice if you get a drone to capture footage from above. That way we can gauge better the difference between cars. That said, I love how you keep doing these races with cars most people can afford. I am still waiting on that RDX vs NX vs QX50 race lol

The way the Veloster sounds is absolutely amazing

That 1.5t is a good engine, I own a Civic Sport Touring hatch and that car just gives me a smile.

The tuned Civic 1.5T 😍🔥🔥 didn’t expect that

Awesome vid! That silver civic is an amazing sleeper! Can you imagine cruising through traffic hunting unsuspecting Veloster and type R drivers? Luv it!

mad respect for the 1.5T tuner

Hey, Sam. Great video. Do you mind sharing the specific upgrades that the Civic has? Thanks.

Wow great races, really surprise about the cvt 👏👏👏👏👏

This is absolutely mind blowing

Wow when the CVT gets out of the low range it's like hsitting NOS!!!!

Thank you.Amazing video!!!!

I love your videos

Nice video sam! So proud of how long you have come. Any more videos with the GLI?. I saw you posted pictures of the TLX, Kia accord mazda 6, but no gli :(

Wow, that was shocking!! Great video as usual Sam!

Lol that 1.5t CVT is a rocket!!

What exact upgrades are on the 1.5T CVT?

That's it, that's fooking it I'm tunning my cvt too, that was freaking impressive, it seems it was starting to pulling on the type r when it had the bad start in the 3rd race but seriously blown away, ....great video Sam

What moss are done to them Si? You have a FB or KZfaq bro?

Didn't you review a wrx CVT a few years ago?

Is the CVT box faster and smoother than the manual one?

My word. 2st run huh? Subbed!

Does anyone know where can I get those rear animated lights shown on 1:16?

can someone tell me where i can buy the rear light rainbow tint on the civic 1.5 pleaseeee

I have a custom tune on my CRV 1.5t. I think I can take that veloster! LOL. Love the video!

Thank you for the video, Sam! We're a bit partial to the Civics, but a great comparison nevertheless.

It's nice that under the gear selector on the cvt there's a place to put your purse.

The 1.5 civic killed it 🔥💯

Great video and good job launching the Type R. Just curious, in the normal mode runs was the Type R in Comfort or Sport (Sport is default mode), and in the Sport mode runs was the Type R in Sport or R+? Regardless surprised how much slower the Type R was in the normal mode runs, unless the CVT was just getting hot and was slower in the Sport mode runs?

CVT just kicked in yo

Count Dooku be like: I've been looking forward to this. ಠ ͜ʖ ಠ

Correct me if I’m wrong but.. isn’t that CVT a couple of pulls away from blowing up? Or can they hold power?

Did you run it on +R mode

It was hard to believe that the Civic with a CVT could actually race. It was awesome seeing it pass up the Type R in the first race.

I love Veloster N ♥... Nice video!

I love the concept of just having a video for drag racing. The ultimate drag race for me would be the king of all sleepers race: 2013 (or any year after) Taurus SHO vs 2013 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 rspec vs MKZ 3.0, maybe throw the cadillac xtx vsport in there as well since it's similarly spec'd and having owned one I feel that it's much more powerful than the 0-60 numbers suggest. You could almost have a separate sleeper race with a Chevy SS vs an Infiniti Q50 400 Red Sport.

Honda should do what Toyota did on the Corolla transmission. Add a legit 1st gear before CVT takes over. Launch gear.

I have a '19 Si and have run both the Phearables tune as well as TSP Stage 1 and I am STUNNED by this result! Best tunes I've seen are (235 HP 285 TQ) and this car MUST be exceeding that. Either that or nobody knows how to shift anymore! :) Just reading some more comments and coming to understand that the Civic is not running a stock turbo either which makes complete sense. All the tunes I've ever seen really improve bottom end performance but clearly this Civic is tuned for top end. Apparently its running a 27WON turbo as well so a bit more than a tune. I'm going to guess they did the intercooler as well because heat soak is a MAJOR issue with the 1.5.

Just realized you can buy a basic Civic Turbo, few bolt-ons, flash a tune and you have something almost as quick as a Type R and you will save tons of money!

Nice Man 😍❤️

What wheels are those on the 1.5t civic? They look great!

Unexpected sleeper, great job by the cvt, I had one but got into an accident and traded for a accord. They're nice little peppy cars especially when tuned, however I'm not sure how long that cvt is gonna hold up, wicked rides and video tho, 🥰

Yoooooo wtf that cvt is no joke 😳

My 2019 Civic Si coupe feels quick AF in regular mode when compared to Sport mode. Sport mode has a more aggressive throttle response in lower to mid RPM range in lower gears, but for some reason it feels like the boost levels off early. It doesn't feel like engine is pulling the weight of the car anymore, but more like doing just enough to maintain speed with just enough power to keep accelerating at a leisurely rate. Driving in the hills in Sport mode is so much fun it's sinful. In regular mode, my Si feels much quicker. The RPM's don't jump up as fast as in Sport mode which gives you more time to stretch out it's legs and really get the most acceleration out of every gear before you have to shift with the one exception being first gear. The turbo doesn't produce positive psi in first gear and the throttle hang between first and second causes the RPM's to get yanked down hard to match the speed of the vehicle if you don't wait for them to drop low enough before letting out the clutch on second. Also in regular mode, The boost doesn't feel like it levels out as early as in Sport mode, making it feel like the car is actually pulling through the entirety of each gear, once you learn how to counter the turbo lag in the beginning of first and second that is. As fun as the 10th gen Civic si is to drive, Beware!!! The brakes are garbage and brake fade is real AF on this thing. If only Honda had made the fake front vents functional and used them to cool the brakes. Drive like an asshole responsibily.

I have a Veloster N and a Honda Civic SI has never beaten me in 1/4 mile and my time is 14.01 at Raceway Guatemala, but I think it is to make Honda look good

What year is that civic?

Is that the video editing or is the 1.5 it’s basically floating past the others

I have a 2017 civic coup turbo. Bought new. It's peppy and a lot of fun on the on ramps.

A tuned CVT to 260HP - yeouch! Rather interesting to see a stock Type-R winning overall against the the other two, especially the Veloster N

Super impressed with that civic 1.5t ..as for the veloster with that tune it should be the fastest car here

"Everyone had a great time until the CVT exploded." - The Future.

Civic 1.5t is CVT or manual ? ? ? Sedan?

Was the type r ever put in R+?

Impressive race, surprised at 1.5T CVT!!! 🤘🏽

Ate my words! That cvt civic is a rocket! I own a 2018 Focus ST e30 tune! Would love to see how it would stack against these cars! Great vid!

What mods are done to the civic cvt? It’s obviously heavily modified. I had a 2018 si with a tune etc n type r would kill me. ….

Whats included in the tuning of the civic

I'm guessing the 1.5t cvt is full bolt on e85 tuned ?

Great video but fix the camera angles, it would be better if you have different angles during the race👌.

Nice

You can definitely tell by the 3rd run of both the R and the N that CVT was heat soaked

Would be interesting seeing all line up together from a dig

that's my noisy neighbor lol, his car cvt is something else, you'd be surprise at how much cars he's pulling on the highway, whats even more shocking is his cvt TRANSMISSION is still in good shape, he does multiple races and his cvt is going strong , seems like he got lucky or something because i know ton of cvt owners who blew their transmission way before touching the power hes making, hes been running that over 2 years now, i know i help him buid that car now he noisy alot lol

wow.. that TCP CVT is a sleeper.. still can't wait for Veloster N DCT vs 2022 FK8R

Impressive performance from the 1.5t, but I would be worried about tuning a car with a cvt transmission. Would like to see how well that transmission hold up over time.

Lovley race sam! The tuned 1.5 surprised me! Are we getting an eco boost soon?

Cvt has advantages with linear power delivery. Froman engineering standpoint fast gas car would utilize a cvt, problem is most major auto manufacturers dont make them strong enough. Its usually used for fuel efficiency. I agree having a 1st launch gear would be great, then a cvt. Even having a lightweight hybrid system when battery technology takes off in the next decade, aluminum air, or graphene. That would be cool

Please do more races witg CVT cars Sam

Does anyone know what mods have this civic? 😲

nice

Type -R is incredible awesome! I own a Honda Type-R and loving it.

The 1.5t civic tho! It did really good against the type R.. I don’t think the Veloster N was tuned 🤔🤔 the type R fck him good! That 1.5t civic tho! 😜😜😜

That 1.5 cvt was out yo did really good for what it was

I'm genuinely shocked!

Lol Sam seemed so pissed at the end of the video hahahah

I like how it's 2st run instead of 2nd.

4:24 and 5:03 when both civics sound pass through finish line, its almost similar like The Fast & The Furious Honda Civic 1st night scene when drive under the truck... VTEC just kicked-in yo!!👍😎

I want to see the Type R Civic go against a 300 HP N/A tuned K24/K20 civic swap.

I NEED to know what’s on that CVT

Only think is how long will his CVT last???

I wanna see the Kona N. From what I've seen in other videos, it seems like it can perform better than the Veloster. But anyone notice the "4rd" XD

You didnt use N mode for the Hyundai?

The real question I’d how long is that cvt going to last.

I am sure the the owner of the 1.5 tuned civic would say CVT is solid and I had no problem BUT it can’t handle this much horsepower and torque in the long run and will break. This is why Honda put different automatic transmission on Accord which has similar hp and torque like the tuned civic.

I didn't expect that from a CVT

I feel the cvt caught up due to the fact it can produce a smoother acceleration at a constant ratio

Do a tuned Si next

Saw something like this I think that video owner was hatchback kevster it was a cvt too, it even kept up with the sti

Couldn’t imagine buying a type R just to lose to a tuned 1.5t that definitely cost less for the car and the tune than the R

I have a HONDATA tuned Civic 1.5 with the CVT. But I’m on E85 as well. If you thought this Civic was fast you should see mine. It’s a riot. People don’t believe me when I say I gap STI’s and shit but it’s true. Car’s a monster.

You should do a tuned civic 2.0l na vs civic sport, and 1.5
