2001 2.2 vs. 1998 civic 4dr. lx

[lwrdcav]

I have a buddy that has a 4 door civic 5speed. MODS: cat-back.

and i have a 2001 2.2 5speed MODS: short throw, intake... basically stock.

I was wondering who you think would take the 1/4 mile.

[KJRich]

Boy, that's a tough call on paper. You should have about 10 horsepower or so more than him stock vs. stock, but from what I've read, even the 4 door Civic weighs a couple hundred pounds less than our Cavaliers. Other people might have an opinion, but the only way to know would be to run him.

hope i'm not to late to say, but i got a 97, 2.2 cavy that smashes on civics 2-4 door. all i got is intake, exaust... all that really matterz is the driver.

I have a 2.2 liter 5-spd cavy and I raced a 94 civic with a v-tech engine and I won. We both had cold air intakes and exhaust systems.

I know i would win too if i was racing a phone made in 94... BTW its VTEC no dashes or H on the end...sorry but i had to do this....and i find that kinda iffy on this...

i've been driving for almost 4 yrs now, and i know how to drive a stick... i raced a vtec with my g/f's 96 5 speed no mods and that thing just ate the car. I don't know what the civic was running but after 2nd i was like fuck it.... Hunnie your car is a POS...i dunno but i'll take your word on it...

[drkool]

i think every1 that has a 2.2 mpi standard 2dr thinks its in the driver no offence but they have alot of power alot more then they should and put a supercharger on it then ull no 4 sure

[d356bud]

How ever you spell it. That civic started to gain on me when I was in 4th but I down shifted into 3rd and beet him in the end.

are you saying the cavy ate the civic or visa versa?

as for the race outcome, race and find out.

[Classicrocjunkie]

My girlfriend has a 96 cavalier..5 speed no mods... the VTEC ate her car up...it was a civic Si.. prolly modded to high hell....her car really is a POS tho...i should buy it off of her and rescue it...nah.. pink it not my color....but with my car..... i would have given that civic a run for his money....mine looks almost all stock untill you get under the hood..

[pre98zetec]

yea si's are quick, mid-low 15s factory.

[KustmAce]

Anyone else really sick of these "who would win??" threads?

RACE AND FIND OUT!

[Classicrocjunkie]

Yes.... can you moderators make like a vs. forums so the can post that crap in there... kinda like J-body.org has... keep all the childish questions in there like "will i beat a civic" or just make an important note above saying to post that crap in there?

I drive a stock, 4 door sedan 96, auto, i raced my friend who has a stock 4 door sedan 94 EX HONDA

i beat em, but not by a lot, 2 nights ago, i was in his car, and at 4500-5500, that little 1.6 just screams, i'd say it even sounds more powerful than than the 115 HP cavy engine, those civics come stock with 125 hp, and weigh a good 400 lbs less than a cavy

according to statistics, that car new from the factory is supposed to do 8.8 to 0-60

Also my cavy has 62000 on the odo, and his has twice as much ...
a vtec will defently last longer than a GM motor.

Thats a pretty broad generalized statement to make. Every GM 2.2 OHV I've had has gone way over 200,000 miles, and I bought those cars used, and they were abused before I got them.
