I was snuck (spelling ) by a sorry *** honda civic si I was at the light. I was not in the mood for racing I wasn;t evern looking at this guy. As soon as the light turn this guy throws up his two fingers signaling lets go by the time I realixzed it he was about one car length ahead I could have caught him but I let him go.

 

thats not a race really, but in his mind it was, i hate those ones soo much, then your like ummmm ok

 

Well you either have to be ready to race or just don't do a thing and let him go... then what I'll do is catch up with him, after gettting up to speed to catch up with him, I will race him from a roll. Btw... how are Civic Si's "sorry-assed?"

 

last time i checked civic si's are fast even the older ones are even with my car ...Jon

 

I will give the del sol some credit but I have beaten civic si's before

 

Why delsol? the delsol is just a heavier 2 door targa top civic. My roomate has one its dead even in all the races (15) we have done. It was just a waste of gas and clutch ...Jon

 

I have never actualy raced one or driven one i just heard they were fast that's all

 

They have a few models they have a s with a 1.5 liter sohc non vtec i think. a si with a 1.6 sohc vtec with 128 hp and a vtec model with a 1.6 dohc 16 valve vtec 160 hp ...Jon

 

that is decent but they have little or no torgue at all I have seen a couple of them at the track a couple of 17's and 16's

 

just like any other car you have to spend money as well as sweat & time to get a car to run

 

Careful now, don't let them catch you saying that 'those' cars don't have torque (as compared to hp)...even if it is true.

From the Civic SI pdf fact sheet:

Inline 4-cylinder
hp 160@6500
tq 132@5000

Ratings at the flywheel, of course.
