My friend drives an 05 civic si and his mods are intake rh and exhaust and he keeps telling me that he will beat me in my ss s/c. I keep telling him that the ss non s/c is a better race for him. Im not sure if I am correct though. How will the civic do against a ss non s/c. and a ss s/c. Any info will help. thanks

im gonna have to agree with you there on that one. non s/c prolly a better match up.

Mines_Better

same here, i dont think the si can contend with the SS/SC, not with just those mods. i have never raced one though, just going by the specs and what i have heard. the non sc would be a better match up but im sure the si would take it

GeoChevyCobalt

I will agree with you.

I think you mean 2006 Civic Si, right?

I have seen a few around and am dying to race them. It might win but it won't by much at all.
Three magazines have reported a 15.1--not much of a race against a S/C SS.


Then they have that gross dash, steering wheel and are about 5K more. (canadian)

From personal experience, the 06 SI with those mods will have a VERY hard time hanging with an SS/SC. I have literally raped SI's and it wasn't even funny.

A 06 Base Coby could probably beat a O5 Si, my nieghbor owns one and man I could eat him in my 2.4L!! You have to remember that thats a single over head cam motor only putting out 127hp,lol. Even with those simple mods! The only advantage is the lightness of the Civic versus the heftiness of a Coby of any kind! I want to play with a 06 Si myself but theres only one in my town right now!! Remember torque is what moves your car and hell if your torque is good and you know how to use it properly youll have fun!! Go eatem up and shut him up,lol..Or send him my way!! Never mind I'll go bug my neighbor..

i believe the civic si has 197 ponies? the one we are talking about?

avro206

I think he meant 06 Si.

Reguardless--a pre 06 Si had two different meanings in the US and Canada.

Si in the US = SiR in Canada (same engine)
EX in the US = Si in Canada (1.7L 02-05 127hp)

The 06 si has 197, this story started with an 05 si, (not sure what the hp was on the 05 but it's a lot less than 197)...

avro206

Yeah I saw that but I wonder if he meant 06.

Cause an 05 would have to have a ton of mods--nitrous maybe to dream of hanging witha S/C SS.


So...LMDRIVER..did you just mistype or did you really mean an 05??

element27

Ya, I just re-read the original post... If this guy thinks he can take the ss/sc then it must be an 06 si. Who knows, set us straight LMDRIVER.

maxpit

05 or 06 it does matter. SS/SC eats em both up. Only chance for them is FI. Then Id say its an even match. I know from experience, at the end of 3rd i had 3-4 cars (after I missed 2nd). And thast was an 06 SI.

wasey13

You are joking right??

celicacobalt

the 2005 si civic had 160hp, 2006 has 197 hp--also both have no tq lol

LMDRIVER

I am talking about the 05 si. He still says even after reading this that he will beat my ss s/c so needless to say I am going to have to rape him when i get my car.

element27

LOL... Silly silly Civic owner... You’re gonna get owned...lol. I don’t own as ss/sc or an 05 si so I can remain impartial on this one, but I tell you, I really look forward to reading about this si getting taught a lesson...

Later all,

avro206

I have a friend like that, he goes on and on about how he can beat me, my car is slow, blah, blah--just won't listen to reason. Those 05 Civics are dogs.

celicacobalt

this race should be taped and aired here and over on the civic forums to teach them some respect

wesmanw02

Why would he be joking?? Looks like a perfectly legitimate post to me, and I agree. In order for an 06 Civic Si to beat an SS S/C, it would need more than just bolt ons, there's almost a 40WHP difference between the SS S/C and the 06 Si.

Dman

but reguardless, this thread is about the non s/c...back on topic...

LMDRIVER

I will probably race him this weekend if it doesnt rain. I will also give him the advantage and have another friend of mine sit in my car a tape it so that I can post the vid up.

jaydizzle82

it wouldnt need more than bolt ons...it has the k20 right? rsx type-s with i/h/e will beat yall....no offense just will

and n/a 2.4 ss will get drug by new civic si

avro206

Road tests so far have a 15.1 out of Si---lame. While a member here has got a 15.2 out of a 2.4L SS.
