Jus outta curiousity
 

i just wanted to ask this question. i dont feel like doing all the research and everything. but, between a pro sedan 2k2 against a 2k2 honda civic who would win. both cars are stock. who would win?

It comes down to who's got what kind of tranny. If one is stick & the other's auto, the stick's gonna win. But if both are the same, really they're about even... till you hit the twisties & the civic sees nothing but the "ZOOM ZOOM" sticker in your back window...

There is an ever so small advantage to the Protege:
The protege has a neglegable HP advantage of 3 (though at 300 lower RPM), a sizeable torque advantage of 16 lb/ft @800 fewer RPM, but is slightly heavier.

Here's the #'s for ya...
Protege:
2.0 litre
130 hp @6000RPM
135 lb/ft torque @4000 RPM
2634 lbs man.
2687 lbs. auto

Civic EX:
1.7 litre
127 hp @6300RPM
114 lb/ft torque @4800 RPM
2554 lbs MT (coupe)
2594 lbs AT (coupe)
2601 lbs MT (sedan)
2652 lbs AT (sedan)
