We can see it now - a checklist hid well inside the cabin of any Civic fitted with a monstrous turbo setup, with "beat a Lambo" sitting at the top of that list. And while this might just be our imagination, the Aventador Superveloce drag racing the Civic in the video below is a real street adventure.
The SV and the pumped-up hatchback met on the highway, with both drivers being eager to find out which machine is quicker. As such, the cars went for no less than three runs, all to make sure the conclusion is a serious one.
Now, the starting phase of such a rolling adventure is always a bit tricky and these guys turned things into a downright hilarious adventure by not using the horn or the smartphone's flashlight feature.
Instead, the passenger of the Honda turned his vocal chords into a start-announcing gadget. Factor in the usual 1-2-3 rush people get when in such a mood and you'll end up with a piece of high-velocity stand-up comedy.
As for the accuracy of the races, many drivers struggle to get the well-organised drag strip starts right, so you can imagine things weren't exactly tidy here. Speaking of which, the name of the clip talks about the Raging Bull packing 830 horses, but it sounds more likely for the Sant'Agata Bolognese to be stock, which would leave things at just 750 ponies. As for the Civic, this was powered by the tuner-famous K20 turbo-four.
Perhaps the most amusing part of what was otherwise a seriously fast stunt has to do with the fact that neither the Honda Civic, nor the Lamborghini Aventador Superveloce managed to win the races you'll get to see in the piece of footage at the bottom of the page. Instead, the unofficial title went to a third vehicle, but we won't spoil the fun by dropping any more details here.
