Honda Civic Type R (FK8) vs Honda Civic Type-R EP3

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Honda Civic Type R (FK8) is the quicker car, covering it in 13.64 s at 107.4 mph against the Honda Civic Type-R EP3’s 14.71 s — a margin of 1.07 s. To 60 mph the Honda Civic Type R (FK8) takes 5.13 s and the Honda Civic Type-R EP3 6.33 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Honda Civic Type R (FK8) or the Honda Civic Type-R EP3 faster?
The Honda Civic Type R (FK8). Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.64 s to the Honda Civic Type-R EP3's 14.71 s, a margin of 1.07 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.13 s against 6.33 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Honda Civic Type R (FK8) 0-60 time?
The Honda Civic Type R (FK8) reaches 60 mph in 5.13 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.64 s at 107.4 mph.
What is the Honda Civic Type-R EP3 0-60 time?
The Honda Civic Type-R EP3 reaches 60 mph in 6.33 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.71 s at 95.7 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Honda Civic Type R (FK8) trips the lights at 107.4 mph and the Honda Civic Type-R EP3 at 95.7 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 10 for the Honda Civic Type R (FK8) and 9 of 10 for the Honda Civic Type-R EP3. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
