Stock 2000 jetta 2.0L vs. Stock civic

[jettaboy]

I am so sick of dudes in civics driving around with their cars, with just euro lights and rims, but they think they are soo bad ass, I wouldnt really mind, but they are invading my town, they are every where, I was just wondering if my stock 2. slow jetta could beat, those damn civics, my car is a standard trans, so that should help, ahhhh just wondering, I m not wanting to try and take every civic I see, just the ones that think they are bad asses! Thanks if anyone can help!!

what year civic. what model. what trans.

the 2.slow is just that. damn slow.

for comparison. a lightly modded 99 civic ex with a manual trans. runs high 16's, low 17's.

the 2.0 runs high 16's. you've got to be more specific if you want a better answer.

Lets say 2000 civic ex standard trans, no mods, bone stock cause thats what Im running, yeah I should have got the 1.8T, but Im going to school so Im broke! Don't get me wrong I like a nice modded honda, but its crazy here everyone has got a civic! I just wanted to know If I could even compete with my 2.0L. Thanks

you should beat it.
an 00 ex should run in the 17's. you should run 16's.
