Default Who knows Honda's?

I have a funny situation..... There is this guy with a 06-09 civic SI that works with my GF. He keeps telling her that her Z is slow and he will take it down easy. I know those are 190hp stock. It's a 4 door and I've never heard it, only seen pics on her FB. So what would u guys think it would take a Civic SI to pull away from her. I told her I'll run em with her car, she insist that she wants to embarrass him and do it herself, but now all his friends are saying that his car is really fast and she would loose, and she is scared now. I told her not to. Specially a 4 door rice Rocket.

u never know.. those new si's can be pretty quick.. they get cammed and tuned.. lsd trans.. they can move .. but at redline when their vtec kicks in..

if you can hook and pull away 3-4 cars from the hole.. you should be fine.. the vtec wont be able to get you.. just my 2cents

i had a 98 teggy w a spoon engine take me only after 120mph on my bmw e30.. only cause my suspension was too stiff to be on freeway/street

Probably. Even if it's true, I wouldn't be ashamed to loose to a built Honda. 100lbs with hundreds of HP. That's some quick Min rice there

I owned a 2007 Civic SI 4dr before my Z28.

A stock K20Z3 pushes approx 183hp to the wheels.

They are fun cars to go canyon carving but still slow as fawk from a straight line.

That's why I traded the SI in for my Z28.
