Civic SI Killed

[c4220]

I was crusin with my girlfriend to dinner at PF Changs tonight on Hwy 249 and a 06-07 civic SI was staying beside me romping on the gas slowing up that sort of thing for a while and his buddy in the passenger seat had his window down looking at me waving, pointing trying to get me to run so I ignored them for a while then decided enough is enough it's time to dust him. My girlfriend approved.

So I doubble clutched into 3rd (rolling 60 MPH) due to the time it took I ended up with my front at his rear wheel then it felt like a second later I started pulling on him, by the time 3 rd gear was done I probably had about 4 lengths.

He came up for a second round but I was satisfied. Eventually he floored it while I cruised.

My car is a '06 Silver Ion Redline Competition package, 100% stock straight off the show room floor with 16K miles.

Stupid Si's!

Wow a whole whopping 197hp, a good 167.45 at the wheels figuring a 15% drivetrain loss., unless they were underrated as well.....

A lightly moded 2.4L could almost walk them... they run 146-150whp.

From a dig your 2.4 would ruin him with bolt ons, but the Si's have some top end that gives N/A cars in its class a run. It would be interesting.

VTEC= Virtually Torqueless Economy Cars
Honda=History Of No Dramatic Acceleration

Gas prices are going up again so save your gas Hondas/Acura aka (Ac wrongs) are a waste of your time and gas...lol

Because earlier he had raced Vin Diesel and Vin told him he was granny shifting and not double clutching like he should!

WTF you double clutched into third? Are you driving a Semi or something?

You won't get a 15% drivetrain loss with a manual tranny, especially fwd. It is usually under 5%. Honda rates at the crank using lenient standards. GM uses worst case scenerio (110 degree day, heat sink, ect) netting more of a whp rating.

The SI's consistantly run 180hp at the wheels with a massive 130lbs wheel torque.
