They might work better than the old 14's.

Just need to find out if the tires I'm gonna probably be stuck using are gonna bite well enough.


Just curious if your saying you have raced a bit (which include these cars u listed) or you have beat these cars? Cause the said cars you just listed are 14 second cars.

Your telling me a riced civic is a 14 second car? Or a mid 90s mustang gt? Or an Altima?

Bolt on 90's GT with a good driver could do 14's. But stock they were solidly in the low 15's as tested by dudes who write magazine articles for a living.

Well I don't know what mustang your talking about but my buddies 87 with nothing done to it runs 13's and I raced an 08 mustang and it ran a 14.7 ( and the driver was almost 70 years old) and the v6 altimas run a mid 14 easy (my buddies ran a 14.1) so I' not sure what 2.2 OHV you have but I want it! PS the altimas have 245hp, maybe your OHV has more power than my car since you can beat those cars. We should race this summer!

Well first point is the 96 is the heavier of the mustangs hence why it was so slow. So the 87 does 14.2 on stock tires. So buddy had some proper tires on his car, stock motor and ran a 13.8. The 08 was completely stock and ran a 14.8. My buddys altima v6 completely stock ran a 14.1. Well I didn't know a stock 2.2 OHV ran 14's. Now a stock civic with a fart can I can believe. I have been in numerous 2.2 OHV and know how they work so its not like you can say a bold statement like beating a 14 second car. Even a 15.1 mustang would be hard to beat on the streets as their main advantage is low end torque and they get off the line rather well but fall on their faces at the end. I'll be at the track so we can all have a good time and have legitimate races and have slips to prove times. There is no comparison to racing on the street vs a track.



Re: answer me something

irrc the 94-95 sn95 body style mustangs are only 3-400 pounds heavier than the fox body it replaced, and almost all of that weight went to strengthening the chassis which should theoretically make it hook up better. Well the 96 is about 300 pounds heavier than the 94-95 because the 4.6 mod motor is about 300 pounds heavier than a standard 302 Windsor, but it has a better torque curve and should theoretically be better at higher rpm's due to the over head cam rather than the cam in block (of course I've seen LSx based engines scream at 10k rpms and make big n/a power and sound @!#$ sexy as hell).

The fox body is pure sex IMO. My buddy just picked up a 1990 GT (fuel injected) and it put down a mere 550whp. Not too shabby I suppose



Re: answer me something
Sunday, February 20, 2011 7:17 PM
I like the fox bodies, but they really dont handle for @!#$. And I like going fast while turning. But if I ever build a dedicated drag car it will be a fox body with an LSx in it.

Just on a side note, I never did say a straight up drag race. And in fairness, the altima sucked from launch. The guy driving it was only in his early twenties, and couldn't shift worth anything.

Matthew, ill race ya if you at greenfield this year, i'd like to see what a basically stock ecotec sunfire can do against a turbo'ed LD9 cavy LOL

I race agains't anything...often times at races you line up with whatever. I've raced a 18 second suv and 7 second rail car. I do it for the fun and try to improve my times. It takes practice but its something I couldn't imagine not doing. I went all last summer without a car so I am definitely getting anxious to get back into it this summer. Hopefully moving back to the valley in a few months.



Re: answer me something

sweet, youll have to come to a few of our valley meets then, and i plan on racing against anything at greenfield



Re: answer me something

I'm hoping they have a test and tune there. I've been living in PEI for a while now and they always had a test and tune on tuesday nights for 20 bucks.

also my moms 2002 2200 with 4sped auto will do 70 at around 2500ish(litte higher maybe), so idk whats wrong with your car if it's up there in overdrive



Re: answer me something

I posted the 3300 or so to confirm that 65mph in third gear was just below FACTORY rated peak torque.

Oh gotcha, i shoulda read back a few posts sorry...and to the OP, did you guys race yet? im curious to see what times were ran



Re: answer me something

Your car with its mods probably has 130hp at best. Let's do a comparison

2001 Cavi 4-dr..........................2000 Honda Civic SOHC 2-dr EX
1st - 2.95 (10.70)................................3.25 (13.81)
2nd - 1.62 (5.88).................................1.909 (8.11)
3rd - 1.00 (3.63).................................1.250 (5.31)
4th - 0.680 (2.46)................................0.909 (3.86)
5th - NA.................................................0.702 (2.98)
FD - 3.63...............................................4.25
***Effective Gearing shown in brackets

2001 Cavi 4-door .................2000 Honda Civic SOHC 2-dr EX
Weight - 2676lbs............................. 2262lbs
hp -130hp*(modded)........................127hp
lbs per hp - 20.58 lbs/hp..................17.81lbs/hp

In summary, you have worse effective gearing than a stock civic and a worse power-to-weight ratios. How are beating all these cars you speak of? Oh, that's right! You're not! You're just trying to pull the wool over our eyes. We are not stupid, so stop trying to fool us. It only makes you look dumb and not us. Congratulations you're almost as fast stock Honda Civic. Go race some Tercels, I heard they are super fast especially with shift kits. lol




Re: answer me something
Monday, March 07, 2011 8:42 AM
What planet are you on where a civic weighs only 2200 lbs? 127 hp? So a full exhaust and a few other things is good for 15 bhp? What you don't seem to realize is that a car can have 800 hp and still be beat if the driver is unable to use the power.



Re: answer me something
Monday, March 07, 2011 9:20 AM
So, after checking, I can can guarantee that even a base 2000 civic weighs over 2500lbs. And with a whopping 106 ft/lbs of torque at 5000rpm, I seriously doubt it would be hard to beat. Please try again.
