yet another annoying question EG-6 VS. RPS13

[johnnyboy5]

Allright, here it goes:

LUIS
97 Civic EX with CAI. Driver is overconfident, but doesnt drive like a maniac, shifts well but not quick, slips gears when shifting quick. Opinion on racing: "No point, i have a vtec and CAI, i already won." No respect for Nissans (at least thats what it looks like). Has recently beat: nobody.

JOHNNY
92 240SX. K&N air filter and exhaust. (Also running on syntec oil if it matters). Driver likes to race, sometimes drives like a maniac but knows the consequences. Would rather drift. Shifts quickly without slipping, more experience in driving compared to LUIS. Not that confident if he has to post this question in a forum, but knows his car is a little faster than others. Opinion: "I dont know, its a vtec engine. i'll still race him anyways just for the hec of it. But it think i can beat him." Respects Honda's VTEC ENGINE. Has recently beat: Nissan Maxima.

Allright, what are your guys conclusions, i got my fire suit ready so if anyone wants to flame go ahead. If u guys dont want to cooperate, oh well, its just a question. Whenever i get my friend pissed off enough to race me i'll tell u the results.

[D-Bo]

if you're gonna race him, then go race him and THEN post something about it

[logik23]

I'm sorry everyone for posting that S14 vs A4 thread 2 months ago that started all this street racing whowonit shit.

[XeVeNskyLiNE]

well thought i'd just help out a bit here, even though i dont know the years.
the red civic in initial d was an EG6
the newer hatch civic after that is a EK9
and the newest hatch civic is EP3

yes, iD and best motoring have tought me well, muha

[Chuki_breath]

truth is there both slow.....so go find out is the slowest....


wait the civic has a cold air intake....we all know civic cold air intakes add 25 hp so the 240 will lose..whahahhahahaahahha wow i just hope the good ol 240 wins.

[Th*GgEd_OuTtTt]

wow that's a joke... the 240 would eat it alive... ... i had a 95 240 and would eat gsr's ... just cuz the driver is a noob at shifting ... i think the 240 has the advantage and only a skilled driver could beat it with the civic and that's considering the driver in the 240 isn't a great driver ... i'd like to see this race due to the fact that the civic driver will eat his words ... gaurenteed

[drumpet15]

I'm guessing the Civic driver will lose. I guess it kinda depends on exactly how bad he shifts, but go out and race and then post the results!

[AWDSR20]

So... the winner is......

[D-Bo]

people here are pussies.. all talk no game.. i've never heard somebody come on here after asking which car would beat which car with results.. if i was gonna race somebody, i'd do it, then write everything up afterwords..

[XeVeNskyLiNE]

fine then D-Bo, heres your write up.

a friend of mine has a new 1.8L turbo Jetta. Full exhaust and some other computer blah blah under the hood. so anyways, he was all on my nuts about racing him, and how my eclipse was no match.
well, finally i got fed up and ran him.
he took me off the line 1) he has traction control, i sure as hell don't, so i didn't catch grip until about 3200 (launched at 2k). 2) he has a triptronic shifter, therefore he didnt have to worry about balancing the clutch and etc.
so anyways, he took me off the line, but not by much, by time a shifted into 2nd, the tires chirped as usual and i was on his front doors, 3rd gear is really long on my car so he pulled a bit, still he never really smoked me, i got beat by maybe half a jetta, lol.
my mods? CAI, 93 octane gas and smoked taillights, lol. FYI, non-turbo eclipses have 140hp, sad i know. but man, i'll sure as hell dust his ass (and have) in some highway racing, he hesitates alot to make lane changes, but thats another story....

anyways, moral of the story, the better driver always wins, unless the cars are extremely unmatched in power.

[logik23]

So how much power does the gas add? Is it worth the extra 30% price? And an automatic? People are pussies, like D-Bo said....
