Turbo Honda Civics Take On Twin-Turbo Lamborghini in Savage Street Racing

While we can't hide the fact that there are enough Lamborghini drivers out there who enjoy engaging in street racing shenanigans, one of their greatest enemies is the huge turbo Civic type.

Sure, at the end of the day, a Lambo is still a Lambo, while a tuned Honda remains a tuned Honda, but getting your rear fascia kicked by Civics simply doesn't go well with the Raging Bull badges.

Those who want to underdog-proof their Lamborghinis beat Civics at their own game, installing twin-turbo setups, as the aftermarket side of the industry offers plenty of TT V10 possibilities.

Well, as you'll be able to see in the video below, driving a twin-turbo Gallardo doesn't always mean you'll leave the big-boost-Civic guys trailing in your wake.

The footage brings us a first-gen Gallardo with a Heffner twin-turbo kit, which dukes it out with a pair of Civics. When it comes to the Hondas, we're dealing with a black Coupe, which tips the scales at 2,160 lbs and delivers over 650 hp to the front wheels (let the FWD jokes begin) thanks to a well-built K20 turbo four setup.

As for the white hatchback, this is even lighter, weighing in at 2,100 lbs. The B18 under the hood has been gifted with a 66mm turbo delivering between 20 and 25 lbs of boost, which means this hypercompact forces its front axle to deal with north of 700 horses.

Returning to the Sant'Agata Bolognese machine, which tips the scales at around 3,500 lbs, this has a TT kit allowing it to deliver well over 1,000 hp. However, the V10 only reaches, say, 80 percent of its potential when running on pump gas, as is the case here.

Hit the "play" button below to see the pair of Civics battling it out with the Gallardo on the highway.

P.S.: A Dodge Charger (one that has the kind of colored lights you don't want to see) was also in the area on the night the races took place and you'll see this in the video.
