MAX vs CIVIC SI

[MAXIMASE2000]

Anyone ever race against a new Civic SI? Couple week ago I race a new Civic SI and it seem this is a soup-up Si. He want to get ahead of me but I won't let him and we side by side at 85 mph in the area where the speed limit was 40. But there was no cars around at that time and it's a straight road. :flamer: :rocket:

A friend of mine that works down the street met up for lunch one day and he was talking smack about my Max and how it was a family car and was ssslllooowww. I said ok, lets run. So we did at the stop light with no traffic ahead and a full open road and gunned it. We were almost neck and neck the first few seconds and I started pulling and pulling ahead of him, I could hear his car revving up very high and just could not pull ahead of me. At about 105mph I decided to shut it down because of traffic up ahead and pulled ahead of him by about 2 car lengths...he was mad.

COOL, I am glad you won the race. I told my friend the story about my
Max vs Civic Si. He said that his 99 Max(stock) will beat that Civic Si and will
also beat the 2000 Max SE, I don't know about that. And I don't have a chance to race him because we get out of work at a different time. Any one out there ever try racing a 4th gen VS 5th gen Max?

it is close, but the Maxima should pull away, I've never lost to a honduh before....

I have a 2000 se and i raced a civic si. I had stock car and i easly keep up with him. about half way into the race i got pulled over doing 95 in 35. Just be careful

[MAXIMASE2000]

Glad to hear that the Max chew up those Honda. But please becareful about those cop. I got pull over for doing 75 on a 35 zone and he gave me 2 tickets.:flamer:

Nothing like a couple of tickets to make your day, huh???

[MAXIMASE2000]

Nubiannupe, maybe for you not for me. If you like tickets?

My friend has one! I hope we are talking about the same car the civic si that has 160HP, well his has the intake and a greddy exhaust and I told him at the light lets test these cars out and as soon as the light turned green I pulled off pretty quick away from him for half a block and he stopped. Yes we both have 5 speeds. I think he didnt have enough confidence in his car. I did race a civic hatch back that now that little light weight piece of metal was able to pull away from me on his second gear while I was still in first. His car was modified I dont know how much, all I know is that his sh.. was screaming hard, I could have taken him have we raced a bit longer but it was only for 1 block since the light turned red and there was a lot of traffic.

Only way it could have happened.

your maxima should easly take a civic si the civic has no torque my g20 could take a si with a intake and exhuast the just dont have enought torque i was racing at highway speeds started at 65 and ran up to 90 or 100 if your maxima cant take a Si you should be asshamed of your car

[SDiablo512]

The torque or the max is only noticeable at high rpm ranges. However the si rev higher and also vtec which kicks in at higher ranges. The max lacks that. The max i must agree with does have a better 60-100 time because of the 6 cyc engine. The little four bangers cant keep up in higher mph ranges.

A new max could beat an older max no problem, just because of 32 more horsepower.

A max with a stick would beat a Si with a stick also. They are highly over-rated. I am not a fan of rice.

This should put an end to all the Max vs. Si talk you can hear the Si and see it when he hits Wide open throttle then you hear and see the max about 3 secs later hit WOT.http://movies.brianv.net/
