'00 civic si vs. golf

i wanna know how a stock 200 civic si would stand up to a 2001 golf with cold air intake and catback exhaust.

It's easy to just look it up. I know which one would win, but just use a search engine like http://www.google.com

is the golf a 1.8T? if not i'd say the civic would win and look a hell of a lot better while winning. the golf looks like a damn roller skate.

the 2.0 would parbly be the only one you could walk. a modded TDI can be pretty formidable, just like the 1.8t. The VR6 is quick too. ive owned both the 99 Si and the GTI 1.8T. the civic might have a slight edge over the 1.8t out of the box, but a chip or a few light mods in the 1.8t do wonders

Civics are hardly oil paintings...

Geezus. "I wanna know how a dump truck would do against a 83' RX-7, with twin turbo charging, blah blah..." :screwy:

For the millionth time, IT'S NOT THAT FUCKING SIMPLE. You don't slap parts on cars then compare them. Do you even know what a catback exhaust is, or did you read some import magazine and decided to spew words cuz you thought they sounded cool? Little bit more complex than that, kid.

Calm down goat

Just to clarify: goat_launcher has been suspended for a week. You were warned, and ignored the warning. This is the consequence.

a cat back exhaust is all the piping plus the muffler from the catalytic converter and back. go launch a goat. oh yea, and its the 2.0 (8 valve hah).

a little edgy are we?

it's a valid comparo as far as i see it. a little more info might be nice like what model Golf/GTI.

Well at least the civic is decent quality something I can't say for the golf or any vw for that matter

A Chipped GTi will beat any stock civic in existence.

You don't have to believe me go check out consumers report of JD powers on their opinions. I amazing me that anyone would try to argue that vw cars aren't sub standard when it comes to build quality

so true

The more i hear this the more i believe the VW's you get in the US are in no way, shape or form related to the ones we get in Europe. Two of our cars are VW's and they're both built like tanks. Not very quick, but great build quality...

jay take what you hear here with a grain of salt. true the VW's here might not be quite at the euro levels where they aquired a well deserved reputation as tanks, however they are still good car.

Unfortunatelly the biases for japanese cars are so strong in the US that people consider even german cars as crappy in comparison. Heck i've seen BMWs called inferior to japanese models.
