Well, the Civic Si is a 1.6L (woo) with 160hp, thus producing 100hp per liter. The Integra Type-R makes 195 and 198hp from 1.8L (woo), which means the ITR makes over 100hp per liter. Boo-yah. What now?

Yes, thats true...However...WTF is rear wheel HP as opposed to the flywheel HP.....Then tell me what the HP per liter is. Oh yeah...and for the record...What do the HP and Torque Curves look like for import engines...

Um, the new SI is a 2.0 Liter motor only creating 160 hp. So your 100 hp per liter idea of the civic is flawed.

my 6er has beaten every ricer to challenge me to date, ive got 330rwhp, 345 rw tq, 355 gears, and ive had it to 140, and i can get to 12.6-12.7 on a good day. ive never lost to a ricer. im sure theres some that could beat me, but ive nevr encountered one. but dont get me wrong, ive had my ass handed to me by several big v8's, and a turbo bmw m3. but it was not rice. and for the record, most gt's i come across are not much trouble.

your 6 banger is running 12.6-12.7? Thats about the best times I've ever heard for a 6er. That will blow away the new cobras that come with 390 HP with matching torque!!!

Actually, that guy who said it's a 2.0, I believe I stated a 99-00 Si, which was a 1.6. I realise four-bangers power isn't anything like V-8's, but all I was stating is that It makes 100hp per liter, that was it! s**t!

Ah, that you did. I stand corrected. But what you didn't state was the super whimpy 111 ft/lb of torque it had. And that the HP and torque figures weren't realized until after 7000 RPM. Damn close to redline and race motor levels. Awful weak for a race motor. Don't you think?

Hate to admit it but I raced my brother's Civic with my '90 GT convertible. He swapped in a stock B18 type R and put on a cold air intake, shifts at 9 grand. Needless to say he smoked me and he's not all that good of a driver.
My reaction time was .300 seconds better and my 60' times were better, but he had me beat before we made it the 1/8 mile point. His car has full interior. He ran 13.8 and I ran a 14.4. Next time, he's mine...
PS his civic looks stock, quite the little sleeper

i know a guy who is a very competant driver who is putting down 12.2's in an 03 cobra with nothing more than a k&n, but i said on a good night, which is not very often, most of the time im i'll get one or two 12.9's and a bunch of 13's. my best is a 12.63 @ 114, but i had the seats out and i was running nitromethane in my race fuel (not a good idea in the long run!!) i had to work to get that.
I smoked a 98 cobra last night....how much power they run?
its funny that the mustang owners focus on straight line racing because thats the only thing their car does well in. Ive been running high 12's for the past 1 1/2 years without any problems with my "ricebox". besides from destroying all these domestics, im still getting around 20-25 mpg and the daily driver that Ive always wanted. anyone care to comment?

I suggest going up against someone who's spent an equal amount of money modding their mustang as you have your "ricer". Think you'd have a chance in hell then? :) Till then, keep buzzin around town.
