That is all
EDIT: I have a good friend with one and he said he'd never waste my gas, lol.
In that video, my CEL was still on, cutting a little power. His car wasn't stock; CAI, ported intake, exhaust, and other junk. I was doing 100-102, he was doing 93. He got the jump off the line, lack of torque.

I was bored and was waiting for something else a little more potent to show up. Needed some practice, lol. Sad thing is he thought he'd do better... That's not the friend I was talking about, btw, that's another friend of mine's boyfriend.

I did a roll race with one that had a header, intake, and a catback. We went from a 55 roll, and I honked it off. I let him get a very small jump because I wanted to make sure that he was ready to go and didn't give out any excuses. So he punched it, then right after I did.
I pulled on him (not hard, but still pulled away) and it was an obvious win, but for a 4 cylinder it kept up pretty good. I was running 87 octane at the time too. I don't know how much difference that makes, but I have heard that bumping up the octane makes quite a noticeable difference. lol

Ya I agree I just raced and beat a 2003 BMW M3 (a base not a CSL) which supposedly have 333hp/270 something torque stock. And I pulled on it a little bit with my light bolt ons (both from a 50 mph roll and a dig), so you should walk a civic si man ( as long as it isn't rocking Nitrous or a turbo kit or something like that) they have a lot less power then a '03 M3. And before anyone said anything; I know with out any vid it didn't happen and it is a useless comment without a vid. I just trying to give the man some perspective this is not by any means a kill story.

A stock Si shouldn't be too hard to beat up on. But with bolt ons and a tune it changes.
I lost to a friends K20 RSX-S with Intake, header, and KPRO. He was around 220whp, he beat me when I was running low 14's @ 98-99 before catlesds downpipe. He only ran the 1/4 mile once, couldn't catch traction and ran 14.4 @ 101.

We pretty much rape any stock 4banger out there on the market..... I would say that they only close race for us would be the Suby STI... Hey travis! don't you have a video of that? I could have sworn that you had a race video you racing an STI.....

Stock for stock, either the STi and the EVO should take us, especially the EVO.
With just a tune, I'm pretty sure the Legacy is faster than the GXP - off the line traction is awesome, 4.11 final drive with pretty good spacing on gearing from 1-4 (WOT third gear pulls are fun!), about 150 lbs lighter, about 10% less aerodynamic drag...

I ran a pretty well modded WRX back when I was DP, cutout, and tune. He pulled a car or so on me. I say well modded because I ran what appeared to be a full bolt-on STi and put a car or more on him when I had the same mods.

Back on topic, the Civic SI doesn't stand a chance.
Here's the testing at Edmunds - 0-60 is only 7.0, 1/4 in 15.3
