just out of curiosity. would my 2001 3.2tl beat an 07 civic si coupe in a quarter mile race? and who has faster 0-60? i researched online but the numbers are all of different so i just want to know because some of you may have this experience and can share. thanks!!

 

07 civic si would win unless they seriously mess up with their shifting.

 

would the civic be quicker off the start?

 

Yes.

The 02-03 Type-S' are more of a close comparison to the Civic SI. I'm sure the SI will win. Are you stock ?

 

yup all stock. thinking about getting a magnaflow exhaust. would that make any difference?

 

The 07 civic SI has a K20 that puts out 197HP... a stock type-s eats SI's.

It will be a close race, just make sure your VSA is off (if you have it) and mash the gas from the start. you should win

 

I doubt it something like headers would be a larger improvement

 

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.

 

he has an '01 3.2 tl-p , lol

 

yeah its a TL-P -_- lol

 

I know, I was directing that comment towards the "The 02-03 Type-S' are more of a close comparison to the Civic SI"

Only way to find out is to race him. Let us know how it goes!

 

spray a 50-75shot of nitrous. ur friend wont know what hit him


but ur gonna lose.

and keep it on the track please

 

If you had all of those you would wipe your ass with that civic. 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.

 

And my 00 ran in the 14s with nothing more than resonators removed, comptech mufflers and a K&N filter.

 

was this before or after the type-s 6mt swap?

 

Come on man, read!! lol...

 

i've sorta raced an si w/ my type s... i think it had an intake atleast but it beat me (rolling at 35ish)... i'm thinking at a dead start i'd have a better chance but my car is bone stock

 

but the tl's are also pigs when it comes to the weight (not exactly light weights), so it needs the extra torque

 

you never know if he chose to leave that out or not :wink:

 

Before, im in the 13s now

 

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

 

The civic isnt exactly light either at 3k lbs.

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

 

i keep getting different opinions on this! hahaha such a debatable topic. lol

 

^then race him already.

 

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

no offense, but the dude in the red Si ^^ can't drive.

 

^ i know

 

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])

 

also does not help that the SI has 3 people in the car, where the TL is by themselves

 

even with the people still seems the TL woulda won... but idk

 

And your point would be what? With its weight and significantly less torque and less power its at a disadvantage as well like the TL and its auto. Especially once moving and aero comes into play.

 

It wasnt bad, and thats the typical driver. Not many can launch a high strung motor without bogging it or smoking the tires off the line
