If you're stock, the SI will win for sure , 0-60 , quarter mile , etc. The exhaust wouldn't make much of a difference in terms of beating the SI. If you get intake, exhaust, headers, intake manifold gasket, throttle body spacer/gaskets, pulleys, etc., that's an even better chance.

The civic isnt that much faster than the TL if at all. The TL has a ton more torque that will help out more than its limited RPM range HP.

I think it'll be close. The Si has 197 hp but 139 lb. ft of torque

The Tl is 3500.
Unless the guy in the civic did a perfect launch (which in the real world isnt something that happens every time) the tl would most likely get a head and stay there

2003 TL-p
unless the civic launches perfectly you might be able to beat him. hopefully your race will end up just like this

still 500-600 pounds is alot of extra weight to be carrying around though, which basically offsets the extra power from the TL's V6 motor (let alone the 2G TL was only availabe with a slush-o-matic from the factory [which adds a couple of hundard pounds by itself], where the SI is manual, so more efficent at putting the power down [as far as drivetrain losses])
