Why don't you go pick on some new Civic SI's. they're probably quicker than the GT you're talking about

Technically it is, but with a good driver the Si should win 9 times out of 10. Especially from a roll.

An older stock GT is an embarrasment to the V8 community.

Not really. A 5.0 and the SI trap the same with the S197 V6 only a tenth or two behind and a mph or two slower.

I don't see any reason why a new Si can't trap 96mph, and I've never seen or heard of a stock SN95 trapping that high. I was beating SN95 GTs in my Integra GS-R, and I know for a fact that RSX-Ss and new SIs are faster.

There aren't any SI's trapping 96 at least that i've seen. The highest trap I've seen was 94mph

That's surprising... my GS-R trapped 93-94mph

I'm not real sure what the setup is on a GS-R but from what I've noticed it takes a somewhat competent driver to 60' the SI well

Mine was a '94, stock except for an axle-back exhaust (zero hp gain, I'm sure). Car had 152k miles on it when I ran my best time of 14.97 @ 93.82mph, but I had owned the car for over a year so I had some seat time. Best trap was 93.98mph. Dynoed it with 189k miles on it and it put down 142hp/120tq, which is spot on for a stock GS-R. And for the record, my 60' time on my best run was an astounding 2.37

I'd imagine the short gearing and more power out of the SI would result in a higher trap than your GS-R, but I haven't seen it yet.

Yeah, I eventually got down to a 2.25 60' time with that car, but getting a good 60' is VERY hard in a 2650lb FWD open-diff car with 4.40 gears when you're launching at 4,000rpm. But it was a touch over 40 degrees that night and there was almost zero humidity, so it was good enough air to overcome a less-than-stellar launch. For comparison's sake JamRWS6 (on this board) was with our group that night and he ran a 12.99 @ 110mph in his '02 WS6 6spd with just a whisper lid and SFCs. His 60' was 2.15.

The GS-R came with an open diff? I didn't know that...
