which is better?

[element1]

which has better horspower stock 95 Acura Integra or 95 Honda Civic (si,dont matter) and if u have any comments on what would b a better car to get go ahead and mention them thnx..

[98TegLS]

always go for the integra... everybody and their dog has a civic. and they are nothing to really speak of. sure some people have some nice ones... but its still a civic... i think the SI has 160.. and a teg LS has 140 i think...

my friend's '96 Integra LS with i/h/e would walk all over my '93 Prelude SI with the same i/h/e at a 20 hp defecit.

i bought my integra one month ago and have never looked back.. i love it

[CivicSpoon]

95 Civic Si=125hp

[98TegLS]

ouch.... lots worse than i thought.... i thought i should have SOME respect for them...

[crx91]

your thinking bout the 2000 civic si. with the b16a2

[98TegLS]

is 2000 when they changed to the new Civic SI body style?

[charlieteg]

no i think 2002 but i might be wrong... your talking the new hatchback style right

[CivicSpoon]

2001 was the new "wagon" looking style hatchback. The wagon reference is from a friend who just bought a '01 hatch; not from me.
but the comment about SOME respect for civics; civics are ment to be reliable transportation, they're not ment to be sports cars...that's what motor swaps and turbos are for.

[integrasedan]

if i were on a budget i'd get the civic, cheaper parts and lower insurance. civics are popular for a reason, they're a good value.

but i prefer the look of the integra, it's a bit more luxurious and better handling, but parts cost more and to insure.

[pikkagtr]

yup the teg has a little more curb apeal than the civic and better habdling stock for srock as well

[megaman277]

integras have more luxury than most civics..civics are broke man sports cars but integras are official ones they look sportier and drive better(stock)..but if u want to hear the other side post this in the honda forum...youll hear the exact opposite lol

[SpaceManSpiff]

Well, there's upsides to each. If you want ultimate performance and screw what anyone else thinks, go with the civic. You can swap any number of engines in them, they're light, and the aftermarket is the size of the continent of Asia.
If you want performance straight from the factory, chicks, and more space, go with the teg. It'll be faster and handle better (stock, at least), not everyone has one, and they're soooo much cooler looking...

[98TegLS]

so... lets state the obvious... if you're poor... buy a civic and spend thousands getting it to the point of comparing with Integras. or buy the integra in the first place. have some respect for yourself, and not have the same car as every other punk out there. im not sure about where you guys live. but out in utah civics are everywhere. and nobody puts any real money into them. all they have is a intake and exhaust. if they're rich they have rims and an unpainted body kit.

i doubt i'll ever spend the money on a body kit period. but a lowered integra with 17's exites me

wow... i kinda rambled there for a minute

[98TegLS]

and as far as budget's go. im only paying 190 a month for my integra. that's not too bad. heck i had a prelude i was only paying 145 for.

i shouldve gone for the integra first

[scallywag]

Power wise, integra is your best bet, even if it is an ls, rs, or gs. If i was you I would look into finding a gsr. and 2002 is when it changed to a hatch back int the civic si. 99-01 was a coupe. and before that, well I don't know, but I think it changes from a hatch to a coup and back frequently in its past. And as far as looks go. personally I perfer the integra over any of the others. THough the 99-01 si's are really good looking to (best looking civic ever built) especially in that sonic blue. anyways I say get an integra. Remember they are ment to be an upgraded, more luxerous version of the civic.
