The Civic Si was a low-mid 14s car as soon as it came out. It's just that most people can't drive. Hell, my 152k mile '94 Integra GS-R ran a best of 14.97 @ 93.82mph with just an axle-back exhaust. Anybody in good DA with an RSX-S or newer Civic Si that can't beat that by at least 3-4 tenths needs some more practice. To the OP; I know you said you think it is stock, but I would be careful. A Hondata tune and cold air intake drops those cars solidly in the 13s, with ~102-103mph traps speeds. Make sure to post up a vid of the results

Has anyone though about the tune hurting him. Hwe said it was a economy tune. Thats probably were his 0-60 time went to **** at. I think he said it was done with the mods thats were on the car to. So if its back to stock thats would mean the tune was for the mods not a stock car right. Thats would be the problem right. Just a thought.

damn

I don't know about where you live but around here you will never see a newer civic si running 14's. They all run from bottom 15's to high 16's at famoso ive never seen a stock one get anywhere near 14's let alone 13's. I think you might be over estimating the cars capabilities.

I went onto dragtimes website and found the fastest closest to stock Civic si i could find and it ran a 14.6 with a Skunk-2 catback.

Then i looked for the slowest 13sec Civic of the same kind and found this one that ran a 13.8 but has such mods as "powershifting" transmission and "air straighteners"??? but he has hondata and some bolt ons and he is running drag radial's. i think he has more mods but who knows...

Like I said above, I won't believe 14's until I physically see it and I sure as hell won't believe low-mid 14's until I physically see it at a track. With that being said, with the absolute mass quantity of Honda owners in Iowa I've already seen run the new Si's at the drag strip, I won't hold my breath

I'm talking about what the cars are capable of running... what you've seen the idiots at your track run has no bearing on that. The RSX-S and Civic Si are both low-mid 14s cars in the right hands.

LOL @ a high 13 second Honda thinking he needed DRs.

LT/LS Guy

And an LS1 F-body is a 12-second car in the right hands. I wouldn't call them 12-second cars though.

Show me where an '09 Civic gets into the 13's with just intake/tune. From what I've gathered it takes above mods plus header/midpipe, cat-back, suspension, tire and a very good DA to get into the 13's with those. And im talking very high 13s like 13.8/9. Bone-Stock majority are in the high 14's/low 15s, nowhere near your claim.

^^All this coming from actual Si owners/racers.

Oh and, let me add something to this next part...

any results yet op??

LT/LS Guy

LOL. Ths ain't englis clas. One helluva post on my behalf tho.

All I wanted to do was add to that post. I felt your (great) post was missing that 1 thing, so Irun14s is forced to post say 8-15 Civics doing it since it seems to be so easy.

LT/LS Guy

I know, I know. Just kiddin' with ya.

Irunelevens

I never said it was common or easy, just said that's what the cars are capable of. And you're right, I would call a 6spd LS1 F-body (low options) a low-mid 13s car. They HAVE run high 12s stock, but low-mid 13s is the accepted speed. Just likethere have been stock Civics that have run low 14s. But mid 14s is accepted. Maybe low-mid 14s was being a bit generous; I'll change that to mid-high 14s. One running in the 15s implies either less-than-favorable conditions, or a driver that needs some more practice.
Did I **** in your Cheerios one day or something? You seem a bit upset.

Edit: As far as "proof" goes, there aren't too many Civic/RSX owners that post up on Youtube apparently, but this '02 RSX-S is in line with what I was saying. The RSX-S is ~100lbs lighter than a Civic Si, but the motor in the Civic (K20Z1 vs. K20a2) is also a bit stronger. 13.85 @ 100.4mph with just a CAI and Hondata tune.

Of course times are going to vary with conditions, track location, and driver skill. But when somebody is posting up asking about potential race results, it is best to go into the race not just knowing what will *probably* happen, but what *could* happen. And he could be running against somebody that knows their car very well, and isn't stuck in the 15s. There were TONS of Integra GS-R owners with stock/near-stock cars that couldn't get below 15.5 no matter what they did, but I ran a 14.97 my very first time down the 1/4 mile with just an axle-back exhaust (please try and tell me that added power). And it's not like my car was a factory freak either; it put down 142whp and 119wtq, which is right in line with other GS-Rs. LT/LS Guy, do me a favor... ask your "actual Si owner/racer" buddies if they think their car is faster than an Integra GS-R and see what they say.

Everyone always thinks I'm grumpy. I must just come off different on teh interw3bz. Just wanting some proof, that's all. Proceed to your searching/posting...

Irunelevens

I've searched all I'm going to. If you're running at a decent track in good DA, and you're still stuck in the 15s... you need more seat time. That'd be like running high 13s in a 6spd LS1 F-body.

Post away then...I'm interested to see this.

Irunelevens

works just as well for you

Ju1ce

That's the problem nowadays... too much google racing. Not enough real racing. Civic Si owners are throwing a party if they run anywhere around 14.75. Any quicker is a prepped car or negative DA.

Irunelevens

And you know this how? Are you just talking about the people at your track?
