Had a run with a 2006 Civic Si the other day. Not sure if you want to call it street racing as it was in a private not public road without intersections. Anyway, From the start with me using the braketorque method to about 2500-2700 not sure, I was able to pull about a half car from the start. After that I pulled another half car or a bit more after second gear with him not making a pull on me or myself not creating a bigger gap. He was about 2-3 feet from my rear bumper for what seems to be a bit less than 1/4 of a mile. Does this sound about right with the this kind of car?. I thought he was going to make up the advantage I had at the start but didn't see that, I only heard his engine scream (nice sound though) . I have a 2005 a/t sport sedan.

 

Forgot to mention I had a passenger with me and the civic driver did not.

 

sounds about right since you had the extra weight of a passenger and he didnt, seeing how he already has the clear weight advantage and only 70hp less at the crank.

yeah, just that I kind of heard that these civic si would kill our cars with autos so was not sure what to make of it.

 

haha, there's no way a new SI or any SI for that matter, stock for stock could beat any year g35 sedan.

lol....si beat g.....now thats comedy, ive beaten si's and type s' with a passenger in my car and a half tank of gas

 

Well, I think the new SI looks nice for the money tho.

 

they can be quick too, especially if the Si driver is familar with the VTEC engine and keeps the revs up. My neighbor owns a stock 06 Si and it runs in the high 15's at the track, where the G should run in the mid to low 14's, so not much of a competition

 

The si could take a G on the track with the right driver. Those things are fun to drive but who can stand the dash and th slope of the windscreen.

 

I guess the guy I heard it from was just blowing smoke. My car is stock and his from what I could see had a huge (ricer) muffler which was way loud.

 

get outta here...i can still whoop those new Si's with my old *** 92 EG Hatch (consistent 14.2's)

 

That Civic must have had one of these.
It adds 50whp and supercharges any car.

 

thats the turbonator right?? LOL

 

The new Si's trap around 94mph stock and that motor also responds very well to modifications. From a roll a lightly modded Si would give an older stock automatic G35 a good run. Though just mod up the G35 a bit and you'll be all set

for there price... they better keep up to the G...
