My mate is after buying a 2005 or 2006 Civic Type R EP3, he was saying how much it would "show up" my new 2.0 TDI 184PS A3, which I would expect given the CTR is a hot hatch, but then it got me thinking, just how much would it show my A3 up? The CTR has 197bhp and 196NM of torque and weighs 1204 kg, my A3 has 181bhp, 380NM of torque and weighs 1290kg. So just how would it fair against the CTR?
