I'm at work so I haven't seen the video, but I can think of only two ways that a Honda CRX is going to beat a Lamborghini:
1. Stock lambo vs a highly modified CRX w/nitrous.
2. The Lambo driver was taking it easy on his new $200K car/engine.
Or...possibly both.

Following Carbon's numbers, the old CRX Si weighs 1500 lbs after you take out all the useless, heavy bits (I've seen even lower than that, but we won't go there). In order to match the efficiency of the Lambo (6.36 lbs/hp), it would only need to stuff 235.84 mythical Japanese dragons under it's rusty skin, which you can get from even mildly tinkering with a K20A.
Doesn't make sense? How can a 235hp festival of rust and frugality trounce a 572hp precision instrument of speed? Well, consider this: the Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa will go from 0-60 in about 2.5 seconds. It has only about 175 horsepower, but it only weighs about 500 lbs. That means it saddles every horsepower with less than half the weight of the Lambo, and it goes about twice as fast as a result. Make sense now?

if anyone argues with this they deserve a ban.
lol.
or they better provide a dammmn good counter argument with numbers and stats to back it up.

IT IS A HIGHLY MODIFIED CRX.
With a Greater Power to Wieght Ratio than the Lambo.

no not seriously.
just annoying when ppl continue to argue that this race was staged when enough evidence has already been provided to prove that the CRX could easily walk the Lambo.

But you get my point. Once you modify a car enough, it's not really accurate to call it by it's original model name. Kinda like in NASCAR (which I never watch). The only think that makes that race car a Ford Tarus is the slight resemblence on the sheet metal.

all u guys think about is speed in a car...there is a lot more to it..a lamborghini is a lamborghini..no matter what u compare it to a super hooked up supra or whatever..it'll always be a toyota or honda...technology and appeal and safety, fit and finish is way ahead of those cars it'll never sound or drive like a ferrari,lamborghini,porshe,bugatti,
lets see if a chick would find a toyota or honda more appealin then a lamborghini LP640
it has far more class
u get what u pay for..end of story

yea exotics are wayyy overrated.
that supra is just straight up VIOLENT
and TVRs are probably the most dangerous car you'd want to sit in
still, i have to agree with scionboy.... a 1200hp toyota does not = panties dropping. thats what exotics are for =p
they already do that with street bike engines in Smart cars.

lol.
CDogbert FTW again.
and idk what kinda girls you guys hang around. But a 1200HP Supra would drop just about every girls panties around here.
granted it may not drop them as fast as the lambo, but it still will. The CRX however...i doubt it. haha

and plus ur comparin a car thats 1500pounds of sheet metal and probualy gutted to ____ and that has boost with another car thats ALL MOTOR.. u can do that with any car...lets see that lambo with a supercharger or turbo and see the outcome...u guys are dibs
Toyota will always be a toyota
honda will always be a honda
nissan will always be a nissan
if u have the money to buy a bugatti veyron,ferrari enzo, lamborghini lp640 what does it matter...a 1200hp supra probualy will come close to 200k with all the mods u put in it anyways and would never drive as smooth or sound like any exotic car or appeal to people then a car that looks like it came out from the movie fast and furious....
