Do you think a brand new 197 HP Civic Si can beat a 914 with 3.0 6 conversion? My buddy who doesn't have a preference either way says that the civic will win hands down (he has a VW symbol tattooed on his calf too). Even if the 914-6 has 260 - 280 HP. What do you guys think?

How can a heavier car with less horsepower do the spanking? Um... Traction? What else? Well, bottom line is PROOF is in the pudding. I would love to hear the actual results. |

There is the whole gearing thing. 914s just aren't geared to drag. Nore are the 901s made for that. |
