Driver Battles Episode 5: E46 M3 (Hand Control) vs. Civic Type R [VIDEO]
We are really excited about this Driver Battle. The Civic Type R took the world by storm when it smashed times at the Nurburgring. The E46 M3 has been a collectors item year after year since it came out. These cars are so good but so very different. FWD Turbo vs. RWD N/A.
The air temps during our battle at Chuckwalla raceway were in the 100+ degree range. Not only was this battle a battle of drivers, but it was a war of machines. Keeping the cars cool and fast all day was a challenge, but there could only be one winner.
Both cars were also rocking Nitto NT01 tires and featured mild bolt-ons with a small tune. To see how the battle unfolds, watch the video above, and if you still want to see more of the cars, flip through the gallery below!
