That's great... if you want to play video war. I would have no problem finding some polishing off an SS.
I love my SS... but for f**ks sake... it's not even boosted and the same displacement. I think it does quite well.

For the LAST time... it would reach 148-150 and pulled nicely through 5th which is 135ish. Top end was it's STRONGEST point.

You guys are unbelievable. You think torque is God's gift to performance. It's nice yes... A drag race sure... have your torque.

In a road course? I'll take the N/A engine that sings. At least I know it's not going to surge with a bunch of torque and toss me out of the corner.

I'm done playing with you ignorant children.

last I checked the SS/TC beat the si around the track and down the strip. Hmmm, those NA 4 bangers sure are GREAT!

BTW, I dont have a SS

The best part is the conversation going on in the EVO...

"Are you kidding me, no way that's stock!"
"yep... there's something wrong with my car..."

haha

from my experience people have never even heard of the 2.4, someone even called me a ricer cause he thought i took the ss badges off the ss/sc, needless to say he's a retard

The Civic should handle better. It just needs more power. Check out the Mugan RR.
