See Integra Type S, Civic Type R Drag Race Classic Honda And Acura Models
The vehicles include the Acura Integra Type R, Honda S2000 CR, first-gen NSX, current Integra Type S, and the latest Civic Type R.
Honda has strong performance car credentials in its history like the Civic SI, S2000, Acura NSX, and others. But, how do they compare in a drag race? This video answers that question.
Hagerty collects the Acura Integra Type R, Honda S2000 CR, first-gen NSX, the current Integra Type S, and the latest Civic Type R for a series of drag races to compare these sporty models spanning several decades of automotive development. The video only evaluates the vehicles in a straight line, so there's no discussion about how they handle or brake.

The first drag race is for the classics of this group – the Integra Type R, NSX, and S2000 CR. The NSX takes a lead straight from the starting line and doesn't give it up. The S2000 and Integra Type R have a closer sprint. They're close at first, but the convertible eventually pulls ahead.
The NSX manages to cover the quarter-mile in 13.5 seconds at 104 miles per hour. The S2000 is second with a time of 14.2 seconds while traveling 98 miles per hour. Finally, the Integra Type R needs 15.2 seconds to cover the distance while going 93 mph.

Hagerty then pits the NSX against the new Civic Type R and Integra Type S. The two recent models are largely the same. Both have a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder and a six-speed manual. The variant in the Acura has 320 horsepower and 310 pound-feet while the Honda has 315 hp and 310 lb-ft.
The drag face is fascinating. The NSX takes an early lead, but the Civic Type R and Integra Type S catch up quickly. What's shocking is that all three vehicles clock quarter-mile times of 13.5 seconds.
The results are so close that Hagerty decides to re-run the race from a roll. All three vehicles still cross the finish line at practically the same time. A winner is too close to call.
