@retrograde, sir if u compare the numbers, civic has the upper hand cuz the 09 corolla is heavier with less hp n less torque not to mention bad aerodynamics!
Civic will without a doubt beat the altis!
some basic facts:
Civic
140 hp
174 Nm torque
1250kg gross weight
112hp/ton power to weight ratio!
Corolla
130 hp
170 Nm of torque
1280kg gross weight
101hp/ton power to weight ratio!
these are the facts........ according to my research. n from the looks of it, civic eats the altis!
plz correct me if im wrong
