Racing story forum anyone?

And it's like why do you think a heavier 200hp car can beat a lighter 200hp car?

I have a friend with a new Civic SI and they're pretty quick. An ES won't beat it for sure.

I saw the thread title and went... wtf mate?

An 07 civic si will beat a 98 es300.

I dont even know why this thread exists.

Cool

I just don't get challenged in this car...and it's just as well, cuz I'd snicker and resume cruising smoothly down the boulevard and back roads.

Even if I got in a weird mood and wanted to risk it on public streets, chances are I have my wife and kid ("kids" as of next Monday 8/20) with me anyway.

After you've done it safely on a track (autocrossing in my LGT over at Texas Motor Speedway & hitting the oval on my Harley) it makes the street stuff seem even less desirable.

the civic si would be a rediculous race. they're low 15 second cars stock with mediocure drivers, real drivers put them into high 14's, and they can do > 140mph while ES's are low 16 second cars & can't run 140 stock.
that would be a dumb race to put money on the ES.
dude i beat a 07 tc with my 89 accord...and as for not being able to go 140, my 94 went 140 with a passenger...?

Cool

he wasn't racing... what's done to your accord? enough n2o to put it to the moon? stock accords from that generation are 17 second cars. abysmal times.

the hard limiter is 137 on a 1994...
