Honda Civic Wagon Takes on Audi RS5 in Epic Drag Battle

A drag race between an 834-horsepower Honda Civic wagon and a stock Audi RS5 demonstrates that power alone is not enough to win. Despite the Civic's impressive horsepower, it struggles off the line due to excessive grip and a delay in reaching peak boost, allowing the Audi to easily take the victory. However, in races from a roll, the Civic's higher power and lighter weight give it an advantage, resulting in wins against the Audi. The Civic's turbocharged engine prioritizes peak output over a broad powerband, leading to limited acceleration when not on boost.
