    Its more than just the 4WD (although it helps a lot with grip), its the fact that turbo’s accelerate a hell of a lot better than N/A cars (unless you got a 4.0 litre and high quality Honda ac compressor) because of the extra torque, but type R is very good for N/A 2.0 litre. As for time’s, the 03 onwards WRX has 225 BHP 222 lb’s of torque and 0-100 in 15.7 (or very close). I don’t think a civic with 144 lb’s would have more pace, at least I’ve never been behind one in a challenge.
