the only i-vtec engine that I think is decent is in the rsx type-s, other than that I dun know what they did to the civic it was better looking to me in the older body style.

Alright I am correcting Jaysters list of civics
cx, dx, hx, all beatable
Ex maybe if you have more upgrades and only then if you are lucky
I'm not trying to be mean but this is the truth i'm not talking to the rt or the srt-4 guys just the sohc neons

PS. If you don't have at least some mods never try to race a Si or GSR or you will just end up looking stupid. Yes some civics and integras are slow but don't think you can put your step up rt neon against any si or gsr. Yes the srt-4 is faster than almost any honda but thats because it is turbo and thats really not anything to brag about. Once again not trying to be mean but don't kid yourselves.

the cx, dx, hx, and the ex are all beatable in stock vs stock versions. Nobody was talking about the gsr we all know what would happen if that encounter happened [sm=icon_beat.gif]. With the civic si I dont know what it is but many drivers just dont know how to drive that car correctly. The only advantage that car has is horsepower and thats in the higher rpms. In my experience since my race was from a 15 mph roll to 65mph I'm guessing thats the civics weak spot or the driver was in the wrong gear. Like i said a while ago and I keep saying the only car that will out right beat our base model sohn neons is the gsr/and the type-s/maybe some Si's - driver aside. The car alone will be enough to win. Some people know how to drive most don't.

The 02+ Si's dont have a true VTEC system. They work on 12 valves until you hit 2200rpm, then you have a whooping 4 extra valves kick in. No VTEC kick or anything. I was just messing about my not having VTEC though i have a RSX Type S engine swap into mine, which has true VTEC. I'm sorry for being a troll. But after my girl's car crapped the bed in under an hour last night(right after she bought it from the dealer w/ 68k on it), I had to take it out on something, so i came here looking to solve the problem and saw this thread. I hope the info helps you on the newer ones. They really arent that fast with the stock engine. 15.8 in the 1/4 with a lil bit better than average driver. If you put a K20a2 in they should be at least at a 15.0 with just a stock engine. Later Y'all[8D]
