what's done to your car?
I played with a tc with a 91 cadilac Seville and I almost kept up the seville a little slower than my mini me EG
Hope that helps
The tc had exhaust

You'll lose.


Just because you've tried to make your car look fast doesn't mean it is fast.

161bhp and 163 ft*lbs of torque driving a 2,970lb car vs. a civic with 115bhp and 104 ft*lbs of torque. Granted, your car weighs 300lbs less than his, but assuming both cars are equipped with manual gearboxes, he'll probably take you if he can shift even moderately well.

Granted, that's a stock-for-stock comparison; depending on mods it may differ, but assuming you still have the d16y5 and it's naturally-aspirated, I don't really see you taking him.

The tc had exhaust
Intake,Megan headers,magnaflow cat,2.5'' exhaust pipeing, accel thundersport series spark plug wires,engine damper, Aftermarket radiator, . I dont know if my strut bars help, but i have a lower back and uper front strut. short shifter, which makes my shifting qiuck and easy.

im going to be like, you want to run against my civic, i just want to see how it does. just qureus you will probably win.

you would have to be a really good driver and he would have to suck at driving for you to keep up IMO

i call bull****. modifications to the exterior of a vehicle in order to make it appear faster have in fact been PROVEN to actually increase the horsepower and torque put down by your vehicle.
