After Having my friend cut me off on a 2 lane road and engaging in 20 min drive back to the city passing each other and all, we finally pull up at a traffic light where my lane ends not too far ahead. The talon has an exhaust, Intake and a nice set of performance tires. He had 2 passengers while i had 3. We take off, tires squeling pretty evenly for while until I shift into second and the car just zooms by just in time for me to merge in front off him with about 3 feet before the curb. I dont hear anything anymore about his Talon owning me anymore.

 

His passengers must of slowed him up.

 

If anything, he had the advantage with the Talon being much lighter and having less people inside. The engines are comparable i beleive 2.2 145 HP vs 2.0 140 HP.

 

oops I thought it was a TSi...

 

LOL...I'd Never Race one of those, thats just automatic embarassment. And its actually a Plymouth Laser RS, which is the same thing besides a few cosmetic differences.

 

y would he think that the esi could own you in the 1st place?

 

ask me not, thats the kinda person he is...i guess he found out the hard way

 

I know the TSi is the one you wanna be afraid of, but just for shits:

whats the ESi running anyways?

 

If im not mistaken its a 2.0L DOHC 135HP,125lb-ft

 

holy dang. I could totally kick that things ass haha

 

Since we're on the subjects of specs, what the the actual specs (HP, Torque) for the 1997 2.2CL? I looked online, MSN Autos, and they insist it has a turbo, same for 97 accord ex-r. The close thing is the 98-99 2.3 CL which is rated at 150HP i think.

 

don't race with passengers. It endangers lives.

Good race though .

 

145/145 i think are the specs for a 97.. those numbers are increased to 150/150 for the 98/99

 

Aight, thanks for the info, i prefer the 97 model anyways, not a fan of the vertical grill on 98-99 models. I do however like the extended wood trim down to the shifter and cupholder area, that wud be nice

 

yea you're not kidding. I love the center console on the 98-99's.

 

i actually don't like the wood trim on our cars.

 

97 grill with 98-99 console ftw

good kill:thumbsup

 

Is that something that can be done? would i need to rip out a console from a 98-99 or can you buy them somewhere. Its something i'd consider doing.

 

you can get this http://www.edashkit.com/shop/itemacr-9a.html instead of getting a whole new console, just select the oem brown wood
