Default Video, 2nd 2none Turbo Civic VS AWD Mitsubishi Eclipse

Here is a run from the streets of NYC where a turbo civic allowed a Mitsubishi Eclipse to get the break!

Slicks!? A daily driven GSX vs. a track Civic on slicks and it still didn't get it on a dig....
It did get it at the end though.
What are the GSXs mods?
What are the Civics mods? It looked to hve been turbo'd since it had dump tube..clearly seen right before both cars took off.

Dude the GSX either missed a gear or let off.... you can clearly hear it

It missed a gear, you can hear the RPMs drop and they never come back.

The civic was turbo'd, you can hear the BOV when it's doing the tire warm up. I'm guessing the eclipse missed 3rd
