Hello i am the guy with the crapy 91 grad am. Yesterday i was drivin around a i was kinda going fast to get along side of a red 99 civic si. Had a huge spoiler, a muffler i forget what kind, and i could tell he had an intake ( buy the sound it actualy sounded ok not that my car sounds nice or anyting), and it was also 5 speed manual. so i pull up to him rev my engin he tell i am not jokin light is green i hit the gass i blink and he was gone. I see him as like a small dot hundreds of feet away from me so i try to get back up to him. he so waited for me at the next light i could tell he could have made it throught but he wanted to beat me again this time he like gave me a 5 sec head start then wooosh he was gone again. conclution never race a beautiful 99 civic si they will rule your ass

didn't he say it was a five speed manual

you know a manual is a stick shift !!!

yeah i was making a comment on him not having to say it was a 5 speed since they dont make an auto Si. but i think that one went over your head huh guy? not too bright are ya

:flipa:

from what i've heard....99 si's are not that quick.....hmm.....i don't knwo...maybe the si was packin more shit under the hood then you thought......

i got what kid was trying to say on his first post. dont make a big rawkus out of it. and just cuz si's kick your ass it doesnt mean not to mess with them. they are not the king of cars and nobody should mess with them.:D

I want a peace of this "rapper si":D :D :D

Lose to a Civic but beat a Mustang GT. Does your Grand Am just, go fast when it feels like it? Seriously come down to Virginia I'll race your Grand Am vs mine.

He was driving a 91 grand am man, he wasnt "packing" anything else...:rolleyes:

Before my clutch started slipping I schooled a '00 SI on my way back from the track. You should have seen the look on his face as I walked away from him pretty quickly, with a good driver they run a high 15 stock I believe.

yea....hahaha....i guess so....but i was just saying.....i heard that si's aren't that quick.....i said that because my bro drives a hatch w/ a b16....and he says he seriously smokes si's that have like, intake, exhaust or wahtever....i know the hatch is a lot lighter so that's probably why.....but i wasn't really saying that cuz killerclaws lost ...

Hey killerclaws(jacko), Post a pic of your car, Its cool lookin (no Paint).
You should buy a hatch this summer.

This thread is lame, Im sorry. Youre talking about a 91 grand am that prolly runs 17s in the quarter vs. a 99 SI which ARE slow to begin with. There is a kid here who runs a 99 SI w/ Jackson racing supercharger kit and has run a best of 15.2. When they made the 99-00 SI they forgot the "H" and the "T".

Now if that car had some kind of turbo kit under the hood it may have been considerably quick. All motor and supercharged those cars are as quick as a Kia Rio.

"Brian... Sounds like a serial killer name, is that what you are? Don't come around here again!"

Dude you're lame, go run your Civic into a river, with you still behind the wheel. Civic Si's aren't the fastest cars in the world but they aren't the slowest. What's your favorite car company, FORD? lol... Ford's a joke, every American car company is a damn joke. Shit, think about it. 1998 Mustang GT Automatic 1/4 mile time = 15.6
1999 Honda Civic Si 1/4 mile time = 15.7
What's wrong with this picture? Oh let me show you what's wrong. The Honda Civic Si is the BASELINE sport compact production car from Honda in Japan. Ever hear of the S2000 or the NSX?
So maybe it's not slow because everyone and their grandma in Fast and the Furious runs 10's, but for a factory car with full interior and street tires and no modifications to run 15.7, it's quite quick.

Firstly, no need to trash talk another brand of car, especially, when no one even mentioned it. I'm not the biggest fan of Ford Motors(Read: I HATE THEM!!!:D ), but there's really no need to trash talk there products, ESPECIALLY when your facts/specs are absolutely WRONG! 1998 Mustang GT A4 = 15.6?? LOL. I hope you don't bet on any races against a GT A4 based on THAT spec:D You will be a very poor man! '98 GT A4 = 14.3 my friend(It's all over the net, it's in the Ford spec release, and I've seen it NUMEROUS times in person!). So anyways, yea, American car companies are not crap, some of the cars they make you may not like, but that doesn't make them crap. That was an unsubstantiated and callous claim. But anyways, yes, the Civic SI is quite and impressive vehicle, I like it anyways. It's very quick for what it is, too. A mid-15 second vehicle. And a supercharged SI running 15.2 is a result of BAD tuning and BAD driving! But I'm not saying you're lying. A guy a know had a supercharged SI that he couldn't manage to get out of the 15s either...That is until he learned how to drive the thing properly, at which point he proceeded to collect a cache of mid-14 second slips!

Dude you're lame, - No Im not, youre the corrolla owner.
go run your Civic into a river, with you still behind the wheel.- No thanks, rather go wakeboarding.
Civic Si's aren't the fastest cars in the world but they aren't the slowest. What's your favorite car company, FORD? - No.
lol... Ford's a joke, every American car company is a damn joke. Shit, think about it. 1998 Mustang GT Automatic 1/4 mile time = 15.6
1999 Honda Civic Si 1/4 mile time = 15.7 - According to car and driver.
What's wrong with this picture? - Youre basing your times off of Car and Driver and not real world drivers.
Oh let me show you what's wrong. - Alright enlighten me.
The Honda Civic Si is the BASELINE sport compact production car from Honda in Japan. - No shit? are you kidding me? when did you find this out? wow we should let everyone know. How old are you by the way, 17?
Ever hear of the S2000 or the NSX? - Sure, I have done work to several NSX's and 1 S2000.
So maybe it's not slow because everyone and their grandma in Fast and the Furious runs 10's,- Still trying to figure out this fragment of a sentence.
but for a factory car with full interior and street tires and no modifications to run 15.7, it's quite quick. - I would have to disagree. A Kia Rio runs 16.2 stock. Thats quick too I suppose? Damn, I hope Kia comes out with the Rio SI.

As far as the supercharger issue, Have none of you heard the term "not enough power Jackson racing"? Its no big secret that supercharged Hondas do not perform up to expectations. The shop that did his install has built many cars, some that have been featured in Sport compact car, super street and turbo. I would have to go and say that if they can put a B18B turbo into an 89 hatch and have it run 12s all day that they can handle putting a BOLT-ON supercharger kit on an SI. The kid who owned the car could drive, his previous car ran low 14s on a ZC motor, which is very respectable for that motor.

Am I a serial killer? No, but I have very little tolerance for people who think 15.7 is quick. My name might be Brian but physically I resemble Vin Diesel more than faggot ass Paul Walker. Still wanna quote your lame movie and tell me not to come around again? Now go do your homework highschooler. :finger:

SUre superchargers ARE NOT the way to go with Honda's(In my opinion), but 15.2 from a supercharged SI is SLOW, no matter how you look at it. Slower than it should be, anyways. And I SLIGHTLY disagree with you on one point. Low-mid 15s (I say that b/c I have seen a stock SI run 15.3, C&D times are out of whack!) IS QUICK for what it is. For a non-turbocharged 4 cylinder engine, that's pretty impressive. There aren't that many other cars that are still made, with the same sized engines that can do that. And the ones that I can think of off of the top of my head are all made by Honda(SI, GSR, Type R, S2000). So to say "mid 15s is slow" and be done with it, is incorrect. Sure it's slow for a Ford Mustang GT, but like I already stated, that time is complete, total, and utter BS.

Ah so we are going to get into the whole displacement to quarter mile time debate. Sure the B16a is a good motor, first motor to produce more than 100 Hp per liter. It is highly tunable, plenty of aftermarket support for it, reliable etc etc. But I still have to tell you that mid 15s aint shit! Sure its ok for a stock car but nothing to run and tell your momma about. (thats not a your momma joke) I have seen 1 SI that had minimal bolt ons that managed to squeeze a 14.9 ONCE, after that SHE ran 15.4 and up. I would be willing to bet it was tailwind or something. AS for calling the supercharged cars time BS, were you there? do you live here? NO. you werent. My theory is that he basically owns one of the slower SIs out there and the SC isnt helping him out if he has a slow car to begin with. Many others before me have posted that alot of SIs are NOT quick. I could go on and on about problems people have had with SIs but I wont even get into that. If you want to talk about impressive four cylinders, how about a VW bug motor? I have one right now in my 71 that dynoed at 155hp w/ 220 lbs of torque. (hmm whats torque) Oh, by the way, its displacement is 1.7 liters, its an 8 VALVE motor (not 16), and doesnt have VTEC (but it has Pushrods!) we dont need no stinking fuel injection! I got carbs! and that motor pulls the wheels through first. I know a bug is light in the front but still, come on now. Wanna know how many times I have left an SI in the pits at the track? And No, that motor is not stock by any means but I used to drive it everydamnday and it got me where ever i wanted to go and back. Aw man, now Im so hyped on my VW i should go sell my Honda. :frog:

Go back and read my post again. I never said that it didn't happen...Read AGAIN. I merely said that 15.2 is SLOW for a supercharged SI. SLower than it should be anyways. That's what I said, exactly. I never called BS on anything. I merely said it was slow...Which you agreed with...

this thread makes little to no sense.
i watched a jackson'd 00 si run slow b/c the driver sucked. i watched the same car run almost a second quicker with a different driver...

i have also seen a turbo 00 si outrun some quick c4 vettes, as well as outrun some stuff on the freeway, but hey... whatever...

but it is true that s/c cars don't run amazingly quick... but where does that come in exactly?

and why the tie in with the mustang?

i'm lost. dude was drivin a slow car against a not so slow car, and the not so slow car beat him. ok... surprise?

Yea Si's arent that quick at all. This guy that raced me had I/H/E and at the time i only had intake and i took him by like 3 car lengths. Dont get me wrong, he couldve been a good driver but i havent had a Si hang with me yet.

A quick question...Is the best time you posted down at the bottom of your sig in your GSR?? Hope not:D
Anyways, nice work on the SI kill, but I think that may have been due in part to drive error on his part. They're about equally quick, GSR maybe a tenth quicker on average.

my friend has a 97 4 cylinder stick grand am and it beats a lot of cars. he beat an si in it , so either your car sucks ass or the guy had a lot of shit under his hood.

what does a 5 speed 2002 corolla run? lol

Jesus is this gonna turn into another Bash S2 session? dude, he went his own way, and he walks on stock Sis all day long so dont hate.

and as for slow Si's, ive seen them run 14.9 with just IHE and Shortshifter. Yes they arent the fastest, in fact i consider them middle of the road, and i own one, but there IS a reason that they have such a tremendous amount of aftermarket support. They are great platforms for modification

I STILL WANNA PIECE OF THIS CIVIC !
