GarageCalc Where 5.0 s sits
At 5.0 s the Honda Civic Type R (FL5) is quick (4.5 to 6.0 s). 43 of the 70 vehicles in the database are quicker and 26 are slower, so it beats 37% of the field.

The dataset does not retain a source URL or rollout method for every entry. Treat the 5.0 s figure as a reference, and verify a matching model year, trim and test method before making a close comparison. To estimate quarter-mile elapsed time and trap speed from power and weight, use the quarter mile calculator; and before fitting bigger wheels, check the tire size comparison, because a larger tire diameter lengthens the effective gearing and blunts the launch.
