the weight thing is the stupidest argument ever.

93-96 lude vtec is 2932 lbs

97+ base is 2954 lbs

oh boy 22lbs!!

the key is most likley were not talking stock v. stock since most who you will race are modded anyways. times can can differ based on mods and driver weight/ skill.

the fact is the cars are basically about the same speed wise for all intensive purposes. +-.2s in the 1/4 done by car magazines by different drivers and different track conditions is not exactly concrete evidence of a faster car.
