with my 5 speed 94 Civic DX I beat my friends Eclipse (non-turbo) V6 Auto up till about 45... those cars don't launch for crap and suck on the low end....

 

the newer V6 accords are pretty quick in manual form and fairly quick in auto form.

a 97 LX comes stock with 130hp and IEH might give you 20hp tops.........

 

I do not of course condone road racing, but in my yoof the excitement was about whether or not you could beat the guy next to you. In fact if I thought I could then I did not bother.

Nowadays so long as the car feels good I don't care

 

you sound like my older brother who has a benz E-500. He says to me "Why do you put all that loud stuff in your car, it doesnt matter how fast your car is, any car you buy will go fast enough, stop wasting money on the sports stuff it be better if you make you car more luxury to drive" My response "You have 300hp and a insane amount of tourque and ive seen you hit 140mph with you benz without effort........Its easy for you to say"

Well ive been alot of cars in our class, camery v6, neons (normal ones) - onced raced a SRT4 too embrassed to talk about it, ecplises, celica, mr2, civics- up to a certain point, ford's
i also keeped up with a WRX once, i didnt do so bad. He was also modded though.

 

CRX si would own the accord
I used to own one and all i did was put an intake on it, thing beat a few cars including an oz lancer, 05 tiburon, bunch of other stuff

 

A CRX Si? Hmm. They have 108hp stock. No way would it beat an Accord, unless you swapped engines, or got a JDM or European SiR with a B16A.

 

that crx only ways roughly 2100lbs at 108HP, Accord EX is 2800lbs at 140hp.... they're about dead even power/weight

 

Well I raced a CRX Si a few weeks ago, from a rolling start of about 10 mph. Not sure of his mods except that he had a loud exhaust (assuming Megan, since he had a big Megan sticker on his rear window) and I dominated him. So Im just saying, a CRX Si would not own an Accord.

 

gotcha! I'd agree that a standard CRX si would not OWN an accord at all.... it may be able to keep up and even beat it for a short distance from a dead stop but no owning involved unless they had the 180hp version.... and I can't believe you beat that car a megan sticker that big had to add like 50HP.... *L* I hate huge stickers unless they're sparco

 

I know, I was a little scared when I saw the sticker, but I figured I would give it a shot anyway. Ive seen the guy around town a few times, his car looks pretty clean, but it sounds like crap. His exhaust is way too high pitched, I hate that sound. I would assume that he probably has some sort of intake and a header, but I havent talked to him to ask him. All I have so far is an SRI lol.
