F&F created a bad stereotype that people to this day seem to echo. Except the street scene is more serious. The meets I go to have guys with Civics pumping out up to 400 HP to the wheels and they will smoke Teslas from a dig, not just a roll. And these are streetable sleepers, not purpose built dragsters.
A 400hp civic is not gonna beat an S...... I'm guessing they are running over 2 bar of boost to hit that kind of power on those small engines (even with a 2.2 swap), which will require a BIG turbo and probably won't fully spool until over 4k rpm....... The tesla has full power immediately and will be long gone before the civic gets into it's power range. ICE cars just can't compete with the instant torque of the electric cars. Same reason the hellcat/demon are listed as the fastest production cars available, with an aster-ix saying 'excluding electric vehicles', and that thing has 850hp......
Hell the ludicrous S needs to race super sport bikes for a challenge. A modded civic isn't gonna stand a chance.
