Beat a Vette with my civic a few nights ago

Driving around with 2 of my buddys, I got my 95 Civic Ex with B18B1 (Headers, CAI, basic stuff - exhaust, plugs,wires...) anyways my car is gutted and no PS or AC.
There is a corvette infront of me, late 80's or maybe early 90's style he pulls into a parking lot, and me being me i give it a big rev and drive on I noticed there were a couple of teenagers in it. Next thing i know i got a car on my ass and one of my buddys noticed it was the vette so of course i drop a gear and get it up to about 100 or so, he followed.
We pull into the mcdonolds and they pull up on the side of me, they ask right away what it has in it, I of course say its all stock. the kid then says bull shit i could bearly keep up to you. I noticed then he put it in park so it was a automatic. Now I have a extra person in my car and a full tank of gas, my friend in the passanger seat is paralized from the waste down so it takes him forever to get out because we have to assemble the wheel chair. so i would had to race with everyone and a wheelchair and full tank of gas (yea yea yea i usally race on E) I tell the kid that its all stock again and asked him if he wants to race. we drive off, you could tell he got on it so I nailed it and i was on his ass and i think i could of passed him but didnt want to take the chance.
we pull onto a highway and it was about 11:00pm so the highway we were on was very dead. 3rd beep we go with my friend beeping for us in my car. we take off and i just kept pulling on him, i got probably 1 and a half or 2 car lengths on him.
We go back to the mcdonolds and he asks me again what I have in it, he was figuring nitrous and such (I do have nitrous but didnt have my bottle with me) of course since i dont want everyone to know what i have i told him it was all stock with a few small bolt ons, he pulled out and spun it around a few times for us to watch and what do you know a cop pulles him over lol oh well.
Always even though it was automatic it was still a corvette with twice the cylinders as me. My car is not fast but she is quick and beating a corvette i dont think i could get any happier I wish i had my video camera with me.

umm sounds wee bit fishy but not saying it can;t be done. Congrats on it. Sure it wasn't a chevette though?

Sounds fishy but if it's an auto, it shifts 1250rpm's before redline, so its a little faster then a new V-6 stang. It can be beaten very easy though. Nice kill but the way you told the story makes it sound like b/s, but I beleive you.

maybe he just cant drive, but what do those things run in the 1/4 stock anyway? i asked someone and they said 14's with a automatic that style. I ran 15.3 at the track at 92mph with a 60' of 2.6 my first time there and i deffinitally got a better launch then i did at the track. I think i am just about 15 flat now also i dont have bald tires anymore. oh well it was still a corvette.... even though when we were just going down the road i was with him and is it possible to beat the driver in a stright line already going from like a 40mph roll, all he has to do is put it in D and hit the gas.

I forget what my 1/8 is but it was in the 9's ill try to find my slips. unless it pickes up alot in the top end then thats about what i run anyway, different car it could of been a 86 with the earlier TPI instead of the newer style.

He cant drive, thats bullshit!!!
Its a freaking automatic how can you not know how to drive...he beat the car, not the automatic!! I hate those "He cant drive" comments, its not hard driving a manual from a roll, even less an automatic.

Even worse, it could of been a '84 with Cross-Fire Injection... err I mean Cease-Fire Injection. Cause it sucked...
Year later in '85 they went to TPI (Tuned Port Injection) and started making power... stock the TPI Vette's could do 150mph... when new.

it was the TPI i asked him that i didnt ask him what year it was. when my motor was in my integra i had it to 150 (picture on my cardomain site) now it is in alot lighter car, and its gutted. we only raced up to like 120 (well thats when i let off)
if you guys dont belive me find someone that has one and race it, obviosly if it was a LT1 vette or something it would of spanked me but it wasnt that quick
I smoked a 03 Si tonight tonight by like 5 or so car lengths it had intake, exhaust that thing was slow.

I believe the corvette story over this one.. I don't think a 140hp LS engine in a Civic can beat an Si with 160-175hp (depending on his mods), even though they are a little heavy. The newer Si's actually have some torque too, being 2.0's. Sure you guys didn't just gun it around and you beat him through traffic or something?

wow you guys must have some slow cars or something, again its 142 factory, I have Headers, CAI, Adjustable FPR tuned, timming is advanced to 18º I took out all the A/C stuff, recently removed all the power steering. My car is gutted no carpet or nothing except to seats from a LS integra, this is all in a 1995 Civic Coupe. I ran 15.3 @ 92mph at the track and i belive i am down another tenth or two because i had bald tires then and i have lighter rims on the car now.
When I was at the track Si's were running 16+ seconds in the 1/4
and we did race, my buddy droped his hands and everything. I thought it was 5 cars but i was told today it was only about 3-4 car lengths.
I am not lying to you guys, If any of you want to cheak out my car if you are in the RI area you are more then welcome to.

Maybe you need to do your homework before you speak. There is no difference in track times between the auto and the manual TPI corvettes. The TPI (L98) vettes had 700R4 auto transmissions that ran just as fast at the track as the manuals did. GM auto transmissions are not the same as those in any foreign car, and not even in any other domestic car. They are actually very efficient, just like the 4L60 and 4L60E transmissions that were put into the early 90's vettes and 4th gen camaros and firebirds.
The L98 vettes ran mid 14's bone stock. They had about 250hp. (give or take 10)
As for the Si, I couldn't really comment on that, since I don't have any idea about what they are capable of. Perhaps you should stick to commenting on the things you actually know about too, before just saying that "auto" vettes are slow. Of course, you'd prolly say your 130hp integra is fast, especially since it's a stick shift... :loser:
persone befoe that with the LT! yea u will smoke me, but dud3e i dont know i beat a vette, i am dead serious he was stright up racing and if i ever see him again ill try to have a camera but he lost, a new vette runs whT Like 13;s or some shit an okder onbe propbably runs like 14as new so 15s after being like 10-15 years old so why dont u bealave it lost to a 4 cyl....
Hey bud, I wasn't trying to sound like I was ripping on your car, or your story. I didn't call BS, I just said, there was somethin wrong with that vette. If that "thing" was severe old age and wear and tear, then so be it, but it wasn't performing at it's peak, I assure you... Words I live by are "run what ya brung", so I don't mean to try to down play your kill. If you whooped him, then more power too ya, but I'm just saying, that if I were you I wouldn't expect to pull on all TPI vettes like that, cause 9 times outa 10, it just isn't gonna happen... :)

i thought i just said that these thing should run 14's stock and migtht be into the 15's seeing they are so old. hey but i still beat a vette and yes most will take me but i beat one and he was trying with everything he had so let me be happy that i beat a vette just cuz your brothers sisters friends cousin has one with a thousand miles on it and runs 14's doesnt mean that every one runs that now.
i know how GM trannys are i just rebuilt a th400 (BEST TRANNY I THINK GM MADE) and that thing shifts so hard with the B&M shift kit i couldnt shift as hard as it. but a auto tranny with well over 10 years of abuse will not shift as fast as a manual, expessally seeing the chances that the fluid and or filter was probably never chanced because people never do (Im a tech for a ford dealership)
hey but i reallt shouldnt be talking about this and propobbaky gonna laugh and kick myselfs over the posts in the AM.......... trust me he got beat, he gave it everything it had and he got beat. look at the times for the Si. i belvie 0-60 times for a 03 SI is like 8.8 and a Integra LS is 7.6 and tyhat is a heavy integra i have much less weight. uggh now im getting pissed thinging about why u guys wont belive a B18 civic can beat a new Si
oh yea again a stock LS is 142 hp and 127 tq not 130 hp that is the B18a not like that is alot of power but just so you know. around the 70's or 80''s i was reading the other day the 350's only had like 110 hp due to the gas thing of couse they proabbakly still had 300 ft lbs of tq stilll

Driving around with 2 of my buddys, I got my 95 Civic Ex with B18B1 (Headers, CAI, basic stuff - exhaust, plugs,wires...) anyways my car is gutted and no PS or AC.
There is a corvette infront of me, late 80's or maybe early 90's style he pulls into a parking lot, and me being me i give it a big rev and drive on I noticed there were a couple of teenagers in it. Next thing i know i got a car on my ass and one of my buddys noticed it was the vette so of course i drop a gear and get it up to about 100 or so, he followed.
We pull into the mcdonolds and they pull up on the side of me, they ask right away what it has in it, I of course say its all stock. the kid then says bull shit i could bearly keep up to you. I noticed then he put it in park so it was a automatic. Now I have a extra person in my car and a full tank of gas, my friend in the passanger seat is paralized from the waste down so it takes him forever to get out because we have to assemble the wheel chair. so i would had to race with everyone and a wheelchair and full tank of gas (yea yea yea i usally race on E) I tell the kid that its all stock again and asked him if he wants to race. we drive off, you could tell he got on it so I nailed it and i was on his ass and i think i could of passed him but didnt want to take the chance.
we pull onto a highway and it was about 11:00pm so the highway we were on was very dead. 3rd beep we go with my friend beeping for us in my car. we take off and i just kept pulling on him, i got probably 1 and a half or 2 car lengths on him.
We go back to the mcdonolds and he asks me again what I have in it, he was figuring nitrous and such (I do have nitrous but didnt have my bottle with me) of course since i dont want everyone to know what i have i told him it was all stock with a few small bolt ons, he pulled out and spun it around a few times for us to watch and what do you know a cop pulles him over lol oh well.
Always even though it was automatic it was still a corvette with twice the cylinders as me. My car is not fast but she is quick and beating a corvette i dont think i could get any happier I wish i had my video camera with me.

Now that you beat a vette go race a camaro ss or a mustang Cobra and tell us how bad you beat them with your honda. Have fun!!!!

IntegraB18LS,
Man, I believe your stories but your times are a little off...according to car and driver (a very reliable source, the times go like this)
New SI 02-03 0-60 MPH 8.0. (eight seconds flat)
1999-2000 SI 0-60 MPH 7.1 and 7.4
Your car is around 8.3-8.6 STOCK not 7.6
A stock GSR ran 7.0 flat. With your mods, and weight reduction, YES, you are faster than a new si, and probably and old one, but not stock.
Just a correction. By the way, nice kills!...

Not many people around here know be, but I'm going to express my opinion anyway:
Why do the V-8 guys, expecially the haters, come into the honda forum everytime someone beats a musclecar? I mean do you people have such big egos that you honestly believe a honda will never beat a v-8? And why do you believe that a LS-1 is an invincible force (ive heard all the jokes)? Consider power to weight ratios, parts wear, and driver skill. Hell I've raced before and i dont even have my liscence, but I will be the first one to admit that my skill are less than par. I know these are public forums and anyone is free to post anywhere, but shouldnt we restrain from the shittalking and fact spewing? The guy beat a corvette. Big deal.

I was taking them times of www.car-stats.com but again this motor is in a Civic not an integra, so right away it is a few hundred pounds lighter then probably 100lbs or so in wieght reduction. i also have a few bolt ons at the track i ran 15.3 @ 92 mph and i think i could drop a tenth or two off with the good tires i have now since before i had bald 185/60 14's.
as for beating a camaro ss or a mustang cobra i have no chance in hell. i am a tech for tasca (ford dealership) and i get to drive cobras all the time and they would tear up my civic. who knows it was a late 80's vette and could of been running on 7 cyls for all i know, i would assume if it was he wouldnt of raced or if he had any problems with it, it sounded good and heatlhy although it appreard to be all stock with not even an exhaust.
Does anyone have the actual specs for a say 88? vette AUTOMATIC
Car-Stats.com Report for 1988 Chevrolet Corvette
Obtained from
0-60: 6 Transmission: Manual
1/4 Mile: 14.6
that is with a manual tranny, automatic should be slower then that, unless it has a shift kit and a little bit of a built tranny. and that i am assuming was taken when new 0-60 times dont really matter in the 1/4 mile, if you look alot of cars will have slower 0-60 times but faster 1/4 mile times and vise versa.
Obviosly if this was a z06 or even a C5 i would of been so far in the dust, but this was a older vette with probably around the

A stock GSR ran 7.0 flat. With your mods, and weight reduction, YES, you are faster than a new si, and probably and old one, but not stock.
Just a correction. By the way, nice kills!...
I was taking them times of www.car-stats.com but again this motor is in a Civic not an integra, so right away it is a few hundred pounds lighter then probably 100lbs or so in wieght reduction. i also have a few bolt ons at the track i ran 15.3 @ 92 mph and i think i could drop a tenth or two off with the good tires i have now since before i had bald 185/60 14's.
as for beating a camaro ss or a mustang cobra i have no chance in hell. i am a tech for tasca (ford dealership) and i get to drive cobras all the time and they would tear up my civic. who knows it was a late 80's vette and could of been running on 7 cyls for all i know, i would assume if it was he wouldnt of raced or if he had any problems with it, it sounded good and heatlhy although it appreard to be all stock with not even an exhaust.
Does anyone have the actual specs for a say 88? vette AUTOMATIC

that is with a manual tranny, automatic should be slower then that, unless it has a shift kit and a little bit of a built tranny. and that i am assuming was taken when new 0-60 times dont really matter in the 1/4 mile, if you look alot of cars will have slower 0-60 times but faster 1/4 mile times and vise versa.
Obviosly if this was a z06 or even a C5 i would of been so far in the dust, but this was a older vette with probably around the

that might be with a manual to, look at the 1/4 time pretty close to what i have, and being 20 years old im sure its not gonna pull off another 15.1 stock.

now common that is not fast at all, and im not sure if that auto or 4 speed. granted this is not the style it still shows that just cuz it is a corvette doesnt mean it is so fast and gonna spank a honda.
Oh yea dont mind my signature, that is like a year old, when i used to have a integra... still have to change it.

Not many people around here know be, but I'm going to express my opinion anyway:
Why do the V-8 guys, expecially the haters, come into the honda forum everytime someone beats a musclecar? I mean do you people have such big egos that you honestly believe a honda will never beat a v-8? And why do you believe that a LS-1 is an invincible force (ive heard all the jokes)? Consider power to weight ratios, parts wear, and driver skill. Hell I've raced before and i dont even have my liscence, but I will be the first one to admit that my skill are less than par. I know these are public forums and anyone is free to post anywhere, but shouldnt we restrain from the shittalking and fact spewing? The guy beat a corvette. Big deal.
Woah chill out there Lone Ranger.... The people that were calling BS werent the V8 guys :rolleyes:

Sorry about my remark, I have nothing against a honda I just hate it when some one comes in a v-8 fourm and says that they're civic with a cai beat a camaro ss or the svt cobra. He probably did beat the corvette,it was an older LS-1 so. I just hate people who come in the V-8 fourms and tell thease far fetched stories. I don't think V-8's are invincible i have seen honda's beat vettes and camaros at the track many times I just hate whwn people tell stories about their civic with a cai beat a cobra or SS. Sorry if I offended anyone.

wow this is getting retarded. I have alot of money into my civic and alot of you guys still dont belive it can beat a stock vette, and i even provided you guys with the performance figures to show you that the stock vettes are not even that quick at all. if this was a LS1 obviosly i would of been way in the dust but it was a L98 vette, nothing special. I beat the vette im not gonna sit here and lie to you guys and make up stories.

Do you have those pictures I requested, so I can believe you do own what you claim to?
Also, remember those questions I asked as far as the method of importation you went through, and how you were able to register the car in the US without a VIN?

I can kinda believe him beating a C4. A lot of them have been driven into the ground and aren't running properly.Yeah I believe that he can beat an old Corvette because he had some mods but If he was racing a C5 he probably won't have a chance.

I don't doubt the guy beat an older pre-90's C4 Vette, possibly a mid-80's automatic with lots of miles. I worked with a guy back in high school whose Dad had a white '85 (I think) convertible - I could swear it was an '85 but it had a four-barrel carb. Slowest V8 powered car I have ever been in next to my other buddy's Dad's 190 HP '86 2-tonne Trans-Am GTA with a 350 four-barrel (automatic as well). Shit, my old man's 1980 350 4-barrel Cutlas was faster than either of these cars - with our entire family packed in it! :rolleyes:
Just look how fast and how light ALL of the new cars are these days. Think about it. 10 years ago the only non-Vette/Porsche type cars that could pull off flat 14 sec quarters were the new 4th gen F-Bodies. Now, factory Dodge Neon's are pulling off flat 14's! Is anyone old enough to remember what kind of power the market was putting into the boats back in the 80's? (or how ugly almost everything looked!).
Biggest deception about the Vettes is that their fiberglass bodys don't show rust like others - so you could be next to an 80's Corvette that looks in good shape but is totally over the hill.
But enough taking away/over analyzing this kill - the dude said he beat an 80's-1990 C4 Vette. I'm giving him props.

On a slight side note, I don't remember what mag it was but I was standing in Autozone looking at a mag while I waited for someone and it had an article comparing a WRX STI and a Cobra Mustang... it was interesting what they found. has anyone else seen that article? it just kind of goes to show you that a small engine car CAN in fact run with the big dogs...

Of course you would beat that year of Vette. Your car stock has 100 hp to the wheels. Your car if you added headers, exhaust, CAI, plugs, and wires. With those added stuff you are making about 142 wheel horsepower. The vette is making about 196 horsepower to the wheels and it's stock. They didn't have very much horsepower back then unless you bought an early 70's vette which some of them had 490 horsepower to the crank stock. But anyway, back to the point. Your car only weighs 2500 pounds with 142 wheel horsepower. The vette weighs 3200 pounds with only 196 wheel horsepower. You do the math! I'd like to see you try and race a vette with about 490-550 horsepower to the crank. Everyone knows who will win. Think about it!
