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?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) 914 with 280hp, weighing around...What? 2200lbs? Civic with 197hp, weighs?? Weighs what? Unless it's gutted it weight MORE. 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. |

Yeah think about it. 2900 lb Civic with less than 200 hp and measley 139 ft lbs of torque. Then you throw in gas and passenger and the thing is over 3000 lbs. Yeah its a real drag rocket. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Those are power to weight ratios similar to an original wimpy 2.5 liter Boxster. Most of the real road tests put the Civic SI over 15 seconds in the quarter mile and over 7 seconds to go from 0-60. The civic aint no drag racer either. I'd go against that Honda with a well tuned 2056 in a slightly stripped 914 with short ratio gears. |
