So lets compare two cars here, the MCS and the civic type R.
The mcs has 170bhp and 220Nm of torque, the Type R has 186bhp and 196Nm of torque. The civic is also heavier at 1204kg with the mcs 1140kg.

Why is the civic so much quicker 0-60 than the mcs then as it is heavier and only a slight bhp advantage and lower torque?

Also if we were looking at the 50-70 dash who would be quicker? Would it be the mcs with its higher torque to drag it along?
