My cousin has a 2002 Civic EX and those have SOHC engines. He went against a 1999 Civic SI that has a DOHC engine. The EX has intake and exhaust and the SI has the same thing. They raced and the EX won... is that right? I was with him when he raced it...

Hmmm, whoever was driving that Si had no clue what they were doing. The Si should stomp the ex, even with simple bolt ons. Anyone here think otherwise?

Yes i believe so too, i think is a matter of skill behind the wheels. The DOCH should have beaten the EX.

all driver. simple as that.

True...

It may be all driver but what the hell was the Sidriver doing? Does he only have one arm and one leg?

just because you can go out and buy a good car doesnt mean it makes you a good driver...

racing is 80% driver...

If the driver can make up for 35 more hp then why even swap an engine? In this scenario the case was not that the SOHC driver was that good, it's that the Si driver was sleeping or had one hand in his ass.

probably tried shifting with his foot and clutching with his hand and steering with his mouth.. or did he start off like 5 seconds late? did he forget which was the gas peddal?:bloated:

that has got to be one of the funniest things ive heard in a long time. im still laughing.:frog:

Also remember the Si and Ex almost have the same torque, but the Si has more hp. The torque is what gets you going. But if someone doesn't know how to shift the Si correctly they will always loose.

You gotta drive it like you stole it.

Ya, and with a passenger in the car, The EX was a REAL underdog. With hondas, if they weigh about the same, the hp of the DOHC really dominates.

maybe the Si driver was using the patented Upside-down-sunvisor-technique of pushing the clutch in a little and letting it back out a few times in each gear so "it will rev faster, giving more horsepower".

Hahahahaha

That's about as smart as racing with your trunk open to act like a spoiler. Christ, some people are so stupid, they should have been sterilized at birth.

Or at least drive it like you own it. Sounds like he drove it like it was his b/f's car. :D

My Old 95 SOHC use to spank '00 Si DOHC Civics easily. Even GSX's. I wouldn't under estimate the SOHC.

:bs: Spank 00 Si's easily and GSX's. You're so full of shit your eyes are brown. Unless you had boost of some sort, I'm raising the flag and this is from a previous D16Z6 owner. :bs:

Full of shit. You really make me laugh. Whats so hard to understand about a SOHC beating a DOHC. Even a stock GSX. Most '00 Si owners have full interior, some don't know how to drive, and some are stock motors with minor upgrades. As i stated before. My car is fully gutted. If you didn't take '00 Si's or GSX's with your full interior D16Z6 motor. Then obviously you were lacking power to weight ratio. I even ran a '92-'95 hatch fully gutted with a '00 Si swap. And i hung with him 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. and at 4th he slowly inched away from me. My old SOHC ran very well. I've even took trips to Las Vegas and New Mexico. Doing average speeds of 90 mph, for 1 hr or more. Even at the long stretch of road doing speeds of 130 mph for 1 hr. I can even show you the speeding ticket i got in new mexico if you don't believe me. The highway patrol was pissed. He said he was trying to catch up to me for the past 5 miles. LMFAO. The fine was only $265.
