I was just curious what my 97 LX 4 cyl w/ I/H/E and other mods could beat? I really dont want a ticket, but am simply curious as to what average street cars or other cars that people modify that it can beat? Or what you have actually beat?
And how much hp do you think I have w/ my mods? Hopefully I am around the EX's hp range.

I got beat by a Saturn Ion one time, it was the new 04+ styles...when I came home I found out the 4 cyl have about 190hp stock...[:@]oops!

 

is that a 2.3 w/ Vtec ? Cause i ran my buddy hes got a Ford Probe GT w/ V6 manual.. im auto and i beat him.. i dont know how.. maybe just luck and would never happen agian but i did beat him.. So im not sure what yours would beat..

 

I would estimate that you are probably around 145, maybe 150 hp at the crank. You should be able to beat quite a few cars, like mostly stock Civics (older ones for sure), Cavaliers, Neons (obviously not the SRT-4 lol), stuff like that. I still wouldnt be taking on any V6s or Civic Sis, stuff like that. But you should be able to hold your own. Of course, I dont condone street racing (I got a $450 ticket for it in 2003), as its unsafe and foolish. But yeah, next time you take it to "the track"... lol

 

i think you could even beat some mildly modded civics, del sols, crx's, and accords

 

Mildy modded Civics, yeah, but more than I/H/E and they might have you. They are a fair amount lighter. A del Sol Si that is modded will probably be quite a challenge, they had either 127hp or the 160hp B16A2/3. CRXs? Oh yeah, unless they have had a lot of work done to them. An Accord with VTEC will probably beat you though. Of course, this doesnt take into account the driver's skill.

 

Thanks for the info! That def. causes the mood to rise, and make those hard earned bucks well worth it! Cavaliers? lmao I wouldnt even bother...A Neon would be fun. I'd rather not waste my gas on any GM garbage, but Mopar, most definitely.

Dont the 94-97 Accord EX's have vtec? So if I had 150ish and they had the 145 w/ vtec I am still assuming they would win b/c of the increase of power more quickly.

And Poser, so what all happened w/ the racing ticket? Just curious!

 

for your modded accords' , you guys could also change the pullies and cam gears for more power also

 

True, but I dont know how comfortable I would be, if I had to use a belt other than Hondas....considering if it breaks, you pretty much lose your motor.

 

cant you get a longer timing belt from honda and use the aftermarket pully?

 

mine has 150 stock and with all my mods im hoping to be running 165 +. . .ive beaten eclipses non turbo 95-2003. .civic ex's 95-2004. .integras LS non vtec. .civic hatchbacks are a waste of gas. . .and definately older accords. .neons non turbo suck. .cavaliers??ha. .celica gt's are slow. . .porsche 944 non turbo ahhhhh
