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?

Lets compare some more numbers:
For the teener lets go with 2200lbs with driver 914-4 2056 (140hp)= 15.7lbs/hp 914-4 2270 (170hp)= 12.94;bs/hp 914-4 ? (200HP)= 11lbs/hp 914-6 3.0 2400lbs (200hp)= 12lbs/hp 914-6 3.6 (240hp)= 10lbs/hp Mitsubishi EVO 3413 (271hp)= 12.59lbs/hp WRX STi 3413 (300hp)= 11.3lbs/hp 95 RX7 Turbo 3039 (255hp)= 11.9lbs/hp Chevy Corvette 3350lbs (400hp)= 8.375 Pontiac Solstice 3140 (260hp)=12.07 1990 Honda Civic 2500 (260hp)= 9.6lbs/hp Guess you better watch who you pick fight with. Might bite off more than you can chew. Of course there are the wanna bes. Nothing like a huge body kit and stock 110hp engine in there. Saw a few of those on the street last night. But I also saw a couple 300+hp cars as well that didn't look too scary. Like them or not many of them are much faster than a 914. |
