I can concur- I had a ‘92 Vtec Civic I really wanted to not like (was a last minute sale) and man!! That 2dr would just drive and drive and thrive through the corners!!
The high end vehicles are so polished there's not a lot for the driver to do other than not make mistakes. Raw ass cars from the 90s and early 00s without all the refinements and the driver becomes important again!
that split shot of rear cam and car behind watching your lines, sooo sick. i'd love to see more of that when applicable. obligatory VTEC KICKED IN BRO 😀
@@Pr0vost modified maybe or downhill with a long enough straight. i just checked all of misha's other honda videos out of curiosity, and 220 is about it on this straight here @5:41. my own dc2 pulled hard to 110mph in 4th gear, 120 easily in 5th, and then eventually creeped to 135
@@_fwd_racecar_ Interesting, the FN2 can do 145mph eventually with only 200hp, this DC5 has 260hp and is lighter so I don’t see why it can’t hit 150mph?
The sound of VTEC is wonderful. Honda's VTEC engine is good. The K20A engine was hand-assembled, which is unthinkable today, and no thought was given to profitability. If it were a high-class sports car like Ferrari or Lamborghini, it would be understandable that the engine was assembled by hand, but it was Honda's engine. It is the engine of Honda's engineers' willpower, and I hope they will take good care of it.
Nice. Good that it turned out to be a 90+% dry lap after all. Didn't notice the double cam (Civic Type R POV) until the end, then rewatched the whole thing from the 2nd perspective. Interesting to see the differences.. Integra looked slightly faster in the "slower" corners, due to semis and more aggressive diff probably, Civic seemed more stable / planted in the higher speed sections. 9:09 ABS check 😀
@mgcharoudin it seemed like the front end was a bit too sharp to your liking maybe? Would you change the toe slightly to calm the steering bite a little if it was your car? And this with Vulcan Alpha aero would be a really fun and interesting project track day car!
yes, but fd2 remained hydraulic steer. The fd2r was very well tuned with the dbw though, it barely felt any different than normal. the engineers did on purpose. @@possibly8180
love the extra camera angle from the FK guy! the way misha is throwing the DC5 around and that backside jumping all over the place sometimes insanely fun to watch!!!
AHHHH I miss my 97 Prelude so much after watching this. As others have said the split shot was so cool to see... you really get a sense of how much the car is moving around.
I love modern turbo engines, but there's something about a high revving NA motor that makes my gin fizz. Fantastic! I don't think the DC5-R ever got the props it deserved.
One of my favourite laps! Screaming at 7k+ for 99% of it. Spot on mods on ine of my favourite Hondas, and chilled owner totally committed to the cause. Thank you!
Oh! My good I’m crying, what a beautiful lap, and very nice camera angle, Goog bless you misha, beautiful driving, thanks for giving us this beautiful race
Misha, i really enjoy the feet cam, sometimes i rewatched your videos focusing on pedalwork. It Will be great if you could continue doing this view in other videos. Миша, ракурс на педали был одним из моих любимых в твоих видео, это отдельное удовольствие наблюдать за профессиональной работой педалями. Было бы очень круто в новых видео добавлять этот ракурс.
WOW! Such a good lap. Great to watch you are battling with fk8. K20 revs wonderful, sound of the car is amazing. The drive…. I can find no word to describe this driving. Just dancing on the limit. Thank you.
Wow amazing run Misha. I would have to say the rear cam and Type R follow cam has to be the best cam combo I’ve seen. Being able to see how the DC5 handles from behind it is very satisfying and informative. 10/10 :)
Fantastic drive, with a lovely Teg, and the owner seems a great lad too. Very pleased to see him just watching and learning, without holding a f**king phone up recording a wobbly video for his gimpstagram, like most of the melons his age. 100% respect to you sir.
Being able to watch and see how Misha drives the car and also drives the car on the ring was really interesting and gives me the confidence to push the car even more!
@@timreynolds.dc5 Absolutely ! I would love to have been in your position, and have Misha drive my M2 around there. It was a really good handling car you have, and it must be a real blast seeing what it is capable of.
Awesome lap in the DC5. Being a DC5 owner and track day enthusiast, I am very very impressed on how well you dealt with the off-throttle snap oversteer. Credit also goes to the build. A lot of set-ups are out there, but to tune the suspension for high speed, hard braking....man!
Great vid. Reminds me of ring trips either the boys in our DC5’s back in 2005 -2007. Have been there in my FD2 , FK2 and FK8 too. ❤️ Honda ! Now in an M2 competition
Awesome!! Feels good to know 9k no problem! I’m always uneasy around 9k but this is reassuring. Wow! Not sure the driver difference skill levels and how much CTR driver was pushing etc but that’s awesome that it appeared the DC5R definitely can give the FK8r some rubs! Boost is cool but something about NA that always intrigued me and tugged at my heart strings, K20A is a specimen!
Foot work is so satisfying and educational for me as I always wonder how you did that and having an insight into your footwork is so helpful. So please don't get rid of it 🙏
This dc5 is insane!!.. i just loved how it would rocket from 130- 180 in a heartbeat!!....wish you had a gps speedo on here... i think this topped easily 240kph
Misha, I love the foot cam because I'm trying to get better as a driver. I certainly don't want to compromise your safety, though. The rear cam is interesting also, but typically I go back and look at what you're doing with your feet during difficult corners when you seem so calm full sending corners I would be nervous in. I'm not great at left foot braking yet and this is a particular focus of interest for me.
Misha whenever you drive a Type R i can see that you are most passionate about it and also i can see why the rev range comes in handy and why Honda engineered the cars meant for tracks like these.....
Mega Lap! I definitely had the best seat in the house doing my absolute best to keep up! Not a bad attempt for my 5th ever lap 🤣 awesome video Misha
Shame Alex let the renault boys down by being gapped like that :(
Looks like you had a great time playing chase!
Free lesson, very nice for 5th lap.
You have some skills for it being your 5th lap
So elite skills for your 5th time, damn.
It's funny how Misha drives all sorts of high end vehicles, but he LOVES driving Hondas. He gets giddy.
They are nowhere near the fastest but man, they are emotional, raw, and fun!

And the foot cam too, especially on the clutch shift cars like this. Cheers this was a great watch.
The honda videos are my favorites. And i'm not even a huge honda guy, but man those cars have something
Absolutely.. Those type r hondas are really made with love since they are all so amazing
Hondas may not be the fastest but they're rewarding. Even my DD just has a feel when you take a few turns, always coming back for more.

Should have never sold it 😂 at least I still get to work on it 😂
do you know what is done to the engine ? it performs really well

What a great lap, the sound of the K20 and the speed of that chassis is just such an amazing set up.
Adding the footage from the other car was a cool idea. Always love the Honda laps.

I love DC5's.
The last hondas with fast responding cable throttles and that super high revbing vtec fun.
Did they switch to drive-by-wire on the FN2/FD2 onwards?
yes, but fd2 remained hydraulic steer.
The fd2r was very well tuned with the dbw though, it barely felt any different than normal.
the engineers did on purpose.

That civic looks so nice in the rear view. Like a racecar
Very fast for 260Hp ! No joke the acceleration from the start is insane for 260

Same!
Thanks :) was so much fun!
finally something worth watching
Yesssss Rear Camera ALWAYS! WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THE PEOPLE PASSING AND WHO YOU HAVE PASSED!
Never ever get bored with FULL SEND VTEC laps
The last part of the race was CRAAZYYYY, lil car was FLYING
Its so magnificient seeing Misha drive and push a car to the limit from other perspective. loved it
These guys know the track inside out.... both drivers are really good
The follow cam is so freaking cool! Props to the mate for keeping up! I'd be kinda nervous trying to keep up with Misha.
That DC5 was brought to brink of slippin'n'slidin, he drove the sheet out of that thing. bravo.

What a treat, so much emotion revving it out to 9k. Phenomenal lap.
These Honda videos are always a blast to watch! 🚗💨

How on earth do you not own a Honda yet Misha!? Would be such a cool project for the company aswell, with insane aero.
Epic video. This gives me goosebumps.
I was surprised how well DC5s handle, after I picked up a cheap one. I went back to stock suspension and still great and that's with no name tyres.
love the chase cam!!! awesome car too, that thing SINGS at 9k!
Really enjoyed this,watched it twice,second time with my nephew as he loves Honda's. Great lap,what a car
It took me 11 minutes and into the yellow flags until I saw the FK8 point of view! Great idea and what a awesome car that dc5 is
I think the feet cam was great. Really interesting and impresive to see how you work your feet.
Love the DC5. So Underrated.
I love the pedal cam! You could tie it with a good string to the seat rails or something so if it falls off it stays away from the pedals.
always loved the footcam, seeing how and when you heel n toe as well as left foot braking is very informative, it will be missed o7
What a sound ! Pure émotion ! Love this type of cars !
More skill to drive this beauty than most modern cars with twice the BHP 👌🏽
I watched it twice, loved how u blended in the 3rd cam from ep5 to fk8! Be nice to see it from the start with the fk8 cam all the way through ❤
He squeezed the engine to the max, love the handling!
Now I gotta watch the video twice to focus on the FK8 on-board! What a lap. I really can't wait to take my DC2 out.
with all the camera angles and the civic attacking from behind, it gave me best motoring touge battle vibes.
Awesome video! I do miss the foot camera because I learn much more about driving (Heel-Toe, Left Foot Breaking etc).

I would say maybe the best video so far...and the car looks amazing. Congratulations to both
I love the DC5R!!!! I plan on getting a DC5S which is the Acura Type S here in the States. Amazing video Mr. Charoudin as usually. 😄
Lovely close ratios in the gearbox, great gearbox well matched to the engine.
Awesome camera setup in this
The in gear acceleration of this k20 is amazing
Hondas never disappoint 👍
WHAT a K wow! The torq looks mean but so controlled! The diff is really good grips like its on all 4's!
