they dont rev THAT high.. not like some of the other honda motors..

and high revs and gear ratio dont fix everything...

 

Stock Civic Si's can pull 1.9 60's (pretty good for a FWD car with "no torque"). They rev to 8000+ and the final drive is something like 5:1.

 

lol no torque makes launching them easier.. their redline is 8500 ss/scs with stg 2 is like 7000... and maybe higher depending what tune they're running

yes they have a better final drive but ...seriously

ss/na and si's are a drivers race... so much so that i've NEVER lost to one... weather it was slightly modded or not

 

this is a little off topic..but ..bud light sucks

 

Si = mid 14's
NA = mid 15's

Drivers race.

 

*****

 

normal si mid 15's

normalna mid 15s

good si mid 14s good 2.4 high 14s
YES drivers race.. get over yourself man

 

Keep displaying your bias and ignorance.

 

dude i've WATCHed them at the track.. not 1 of them has broken into the 14's cept the one that had nitrous and that ran a 14.3 every other one has been mid 15s to high 16s

keep displaying your ignorance... Ive raced a bunch of them NEVER lost and even after seeing them at the track which backs up my experience ...

 

Well I've watched them go 14.3 completely stock, you got some down syndrome drivers around your area.

 

ok so a few of them will run mid to low 14's but MOST of them wont.. and ok so stock tires? stock tire pressure stock air filter... how do you REALLY know it was totally stock?

and my area.. isn't that far from your area.. seriously take you BS out of here

not to mention how many of "them" have you seen do that... i've seen about 10-15 different cars not break 14's even with multiple runs

 

I know because 3 of my friends have Si's. Tell me, if one car, made virtually identical to another can run a 14.3, then why cant the other one??

SS/SC vs Si = Drivers race
SS/SC vs SS/NA is a drivers race? Maybe you should go into more detail, but a second in the 1/4 usually doesn't constitute a drivers race. Maybe .2-.3 and 1-2mph.

 

ok so 14.8 vs 14.3 isn't a drivers race? /.... there have been 2 stock ss/na's that have ran 14's that we know of ... so because the 2 of them can why cant another one... seriously .. gtfo you troll...

/i'mout of this thread.... no reason to argue with you ... least i dont have to see your posts anymore

 

so basically he is the better driver than me. i admitted that to him way before i posted this thread. my point it cobaltssredtint aka Ish... he has a 2.9 pulley gm stage 2... he loses by half car. idk i believe he is tuned thats all. it can be denial... but i cant help it. untuned h/e cannot beat a stage 2 g85 balt. lol its denial...

 

And in the same conditions that stock NA ran a 14.8 the SI woulda ran a 14.0 lol

 

This thread has much fail.

There are lots of bolt on RSX/SIs that would break off a stage 2 cobalt all day.

Basically OP the only people you should listen to is those who have experience racing or building an SI or RSX, not people that think because they raced one that all of them are the same way or because they don't have torque that is retarted

 

SLOW SHO is ignored trust me i'm not paying mind to him...

 

that's weird cus my 2.4 with just boltons ust to beat new si's all day

 

x10

But they won't listen to you either, because you drive a GTO and have a superiority complex.

 

Ummm, actually he is one of the few people making any sense in this thread.

 

FYI, a bolt on/hondata k20 should go 13's all day. Get them full bolt ons with good drivers and thats a mid 13 car every time. Give them radials/slicks and they'll crack 12's.

 

i dont think people have denied that bolt ons with a tune they're pretty quick.. but with 1 or 2 bolts ons like the thread suggests it shouldnt be that serious... however with a tune in the mix it is

 

A lot of people suggested the only way the SI won was with nitrous and it was about to blow up.

Your hilarious guy...a stock si going 14.3 stock.....suuuuuuuuuuure.....well I'm going to go over to the srt4 forums and let them know that si's run 14.3's and that it would be a drivers race between them too...haha...such fail. Stock si's are high 14/low 15 sec cars...not low 14's!
