Must've been a 4 cyl mustang

I actually downloaded that video with this ******* 33.6 modem. That's how bad I wanted to see some sort of validity to this. The video didn't show the time well enough for me either.

What was that car in the first lane? Looked like a first Gen RX-7? The fastest RX-7 in the world has barely cracked the 9's. That Civic got slaughtered and that was no 9sec RX-7. I'm calling total BS. The video appeared to be sped up, not realtime, and it still took a full 13 sec for the Civic to cross the line. If you look at the 131mph claimed trap speed and the 10.987 time, that would have suggested serious traction issues, there is no device to enhance the pathetic FWD cars traction, also the tires do not appear to be sticking way the hell out of his fenderwells. Having no traction devices and what appears to be stock tire size would say that if he was running very high 10's@131mph, he'd be having traction problems, not bogging problems (or just lack of low end) as was the case here. The Civic just got raped out of the hole by the silver unidentified vehicle (Gen I RX-7?). All in all, there best be some serious explaination here.
