hey as far as straight line drag racing what would an si lose to (manual, good shifter) would it lose to a 4th gen lude ? just wanna get a rough idea what these 16o hp cars can do.

put fifth b4 srry

 

on a drag strip the civic Si with the B16A2 would beat the base 5th gen lude.

 

srry meant 4th gen lude

 

Well, the 4th gen lude BASE came with an F22 engine making either 145 or 150 horsepower. The Si (H23) came with 160hp, and of course the VTEC edition (H22) came with either 190 or 195 or 200.

Civic Si comes 160hp stock.

Civic Si weighs probably 500lbs less.

You do the math.

 

rite do the math


you left something out though

ill give you a hint



its measure in ft/lbs



think about it

prelude 4th gen -156 ft/lb torque
civic si----132 ft/lb

civic si weight-2782 lbs
prelude 4th gen 2809(according to auto.consumerguide.com)

would the civic still win?

 

i messed up my first post I intended to ask what would a 4th gen si (16o hp) win or lose to.. I mean any car ( i made it seeem like I was refering to a civic si)

 

Fine. Drivers race :dunno:

 

Yes, I think this would be a drivers race

 

I'm confused, are you asking if a 4th gen Prelude Si can be a 4th gen Prelude?

And I just did the power to weight thing on another site. Prelude has the better ratio so it gets the nod as a Civic Si will never beat any VTEC lude with equal mods, condition and drivers.

 

this thread is pretty damn old, but i never got any responses, so ill reply.

the original question was a 4th gen prelude si (16o hp)vs. a civic si (16o hp)

the rest of the specs of those cars are in a previous msg in this post.


lemme know what you think
