hmm so they do… either way civics are not performance automobiles, and thats why you have to spend so much money basically building them into a NEW car in order for them to be fast.

ok smart ass what do you call the Honda S2000? Or a Acura RSX ? stock cars both 200hp and way nicer and faster than your car… NOt saying your car is slow but these cars are performance cars… From factory…
Hahahahahahaha!.. One second, im still not done laughing, hahahahahahahaha! performance in the sence that they have a little bit more hp then the rest of the honda lineup. Theres no significant improvements in these 2 cars that deam them worthy of a performance sports car. If you look at the tread of the cars coming out in the last couples years, these cars are cheap economy cars. SRT 4 isnt even consitered a sports car, though it does have a performance package, and could tare apart the honda and acura anyday of the week… stock.
If you put a good driver in the S2000 and a typical kid who thinks he’s the shit because he has a decent car, and race them head to head, the driver in the S2000 has a chance because they have both comparible hp, but the S2000 is low on torque in comparison.
Head to head with equal drivers, I’d bet on the Neon, but at the end of the day, they both lose, because the S2000 only seats two and has shitting cargo room, and all Neons are butt ugly.

I thought Jesus was talking about Civics like yours, not the Honda S2000 or Acura RSX.
If you’re talking straight line racing, I would put my money on the SRT-4. If you’re taking these cars to a windy track, the S2000. Only becuase it scored better in skidpad and braking numbers… Other than that, Jason your S2000 costs about ~12K USD more than the SRT-4, it’s smaller, uncomfortable and produces disgustingly low torque numbers. For the money, you can build an SRT-4 to drive circles around that S2000, period. (pats myself on back for grabbing actual times and ratings…)

[quote=“jleaman”]Id love to see you prove me wrong on that… A S2000 would kill a srt.
A srt is 214hp and Weighs 2900 lbs
a S2000 is 245hp and Weighs 2850 lbs
Not much in difference in weight but some in power.
Srt front wheel drive with turbo
S2000 Rear Wheel drive with no turbo
Srt redlines at 6000rpm
S2000 redlines at 8500rpm
My bets are on the S2000.[/quote]
You better get your numbers straight, first off the srt has 230 hp at the wheels where as the s2000 has **240 **hp at the crank, and if you wanna play numbers, the srt has 265 hp at the crank, plus with it front wheel drive, it gets better traction (ie. more weight over driving wheels). srt4 0-60 5.3 and the real redline is 6800rpm… s2000 0-60 6.2. So there you have it, the real numbers.
Tyler’s
2003 Dodge SRT-4 5.6 14.1
2004 Dodge SRT-4 5.3 13.9 Jesus’
1994 Eagle Talon TSi AWD 6.6 14.6
1995 Eagle Talon TSi 6.4 15.1 …
2003 Honda S2000 6.3 14.9 (Manual) Orangetang’s
1991 Pontiac Firebird Formula 6.5 14.8 Jason’s
1994 Honda Civic del Sol VTEC 7.4 15.8
This being the FASTEST 0-60 time from any Honda Civic, CRX or otherwise, we should all point and laugh at Jason for now. I’m sure Tyler’s would be more than happy to cream any of our rides in any form of race… The SRT-4 wins, OK?
no way my mazda b2200 would beat tyler’s car(ok now im dreaming). Horsepower is such a misinterpreted number, its your torque the makes the most differnce. srt-4 is the best bang for your buck, and if you were to spend $32,000 on the srt-4, you would be upto a stage 3 in mods from mopar which includes suspension, and engine upgrades, and will produce 380hp with high octane fuel.
I bet you are I have seen some prety nice Ferrari’s driving around in town here, but the Carrera GT2 I saw about a month just blew me away. Argue away guys, I’m off to the beach ot worsen this sunburn.
Have to admit, Ive always been partial to Ferrari myself. I like the look of them better than a Porche, plus I think they are faster too…though I dont much care about how fast they go.
That and older (like '58-'60) Corvettes…those are sharp looking cars.
I’m not much of a car guy really though, but there are some cars that i do like.
