sorry to post here, but since im a trial user, i cant post in the kills section. is it normal for a completely stock 94 SI 5speed to be able to beat a v6 5 speed 95 camaro, and an 01 v6 auto mustang in a drag race? i have done both twice, and ive heard that a 94 SI shouldnt be able to do that. if you could give me numbers (hp, torque) for those cars as well, that would be cool.

well v6 5speed camaro's do about 15 flat 14.9 stock
v6 auto mustangs are a lil slow than camaro's(i think)
Your Si should do about 15.6-16.1, i think it really depends on the driver

Final Flash

Both the auto & 5 spd have 193 hp & 225 lb-ft tq (Ford quoted crank #'s, mind you). The V6 auto Mustang is slow as ****. Saw a 5 speed V6 at the track last summer run a 15.4, so the auto should be that much slower. The Stang thing ain't that unusual dude.

Not really sure about the Camaro, somebody will know though.

As far as the Stang is concerned, you don't have a supercar dude, you were racing a slow-*** auto Stang, or a 5 spd with a shitty driver. Beat a GT or SS and I'll draw the ******* red 'S' on your hood myself.

i really wouldn't say your car is all that strong, now mine on the other hand, stock engine and tranny, putting the hurt down on an s2000, and a 2001 mustang v6 with basanni x pipe and exhaust, and a 100shot, and that is a strong runner. my advice, learn your car before you race it (if you haven't allready) it took me a week or two to learn to race it, and be able to shift like lighning, and i've picked up quite a bit of speed, and did i mention my motor has 232k miles on it , can i have a red s on my hood yet?

Soupskees

think the other cars had fairly shitty drivers, and your car is normal. U may be a great driver... yay!

da94ludesi

i have beaten v6 mustang and camaros pretty easily with my si, with only intake and exhaust....maybe i have a strong car too

CHK4TIX

Is this guy serious?
The day i see a stock H23 "putting the hurt down on an s2000" I kick my own ***

Cottonwoodz

No you cant have a red S on your hood, So get back in the closet where you belong..Putting the hurt down on a S2000 and a V6 stang with a 100 shot. Holy **** John Force drives a Prelude Si

Dude you drive a Stock Si, you would break even running a civic Si..

Final Flash

Yeah right dude, "shift like lightning", even if your car was powered by lightning I seriously doubt you'd beat an S2000 (if he even knew you were racing). I've seen that car beat **** it really shouldn't have, so I can't imagine you taking one, stock, puhlease.

Prove it (show me a dyno where you're putting down 215+hp/timeslip where you're running 14.1) and I'll not only paint the red 'S' on your hood, I'll do it with my sack.

Prelude Styl

Um, no, I'm sorry. Civic Si's are slow as ****. I've raced at least 10, and I've only been beaten once, ONCE! And guess what, I don't drive an Si, I have an S... a whole 135hp with an Intake and Exhuast. Civic's can kiss it, cause they suck stock.

Cottonwoodz

Join your buddie in the closet. 99/00 civic Si is good for mid to high 15's. You disillusioned fool, you drive a mid 16 second modded S.. And as for "Civics suck stock, they can kiss my ***" You are basically driveing a 2900 pound, civic powered Prelude.. SO, UM YES !!

One Slow Lude

are all the new members ricers?!?
whats the deal here.........geez

87PreludeSi

Just my $.02

My '87 Lude SI, (modified...) stomps on si civics all day long....I am not sure if it is the ricer kids that can't drive or it's my driving, or my car just pulls some **** out of no where when I am racing it, but I know that civics aren't ****.....Stock anyway....Not to mention, most of the civics that you see are total rice with their oversized wheels and exhausts and intakes, nothing else......As far as an S2K goes on the other hand, I have a hard time swollowing that one....That would be like sitting here saying yeah, I beat my buddy's Nissan 240sx/180SX conversion car....By the end of summer, maybe, but not without a boost and a shot.

J

Preludes RULE!

Oh yeah, and I resent ANYONE comparing a lude to a civic, one is a sports car, one is a grocery getter....

MugenPoweredLude

this is funny ****...these ricers are too much

PoweredByPrelude

Well not all of us

And to the guy who thinks his car may be special...I beat my freinds Type R once...He started driving manual a week before but im sure that had nothing to do with it.

Hundai's make me laugh too.....But on the other hand, did you see last month's import tuner?? Granted, it's an Apexi car, but still, that Tibi was sick...

goforbroke

MugenPoweredLude, you live near me, well I go to college right where you live Wilkes University. I probably never seen your lude considering everything around my college is all riced out.

Final Flash

Damn that's funny, my friend who drives an S2000 and the service manager at my dealership who drives an NSX tell me that about my Prelude.

(Prelude Style)Um, no, I'm sorry. Civic Si's are slow as ****. I've raced at least 10, and I've only been beaten once, ONCE! And guess what, I don't drive an Si, I have an S... a whole 135hp with an Intake and Exhuast. Civic's can kiss it, cause they suck stock.

I have a 91 Si with bolt-ons, stock is 140 hp and I can't beat a Civic Si. At the track this past year I ran 1 16.3 and the SI civic ran a 16.0. My response would be no your car is not stronger than normal. Just my .02.

PreludeRacer023

I beat on S2000s....do i get an S?...of course my car is a 4th gen JDM vtec..but still...no power adders, just bolt ons, and a stock drivetrain and internals...oh i also am capable of beat new GTs and have beaten an Auto SS Camaro from a 70mph roll.......but again who cares?..and as for the civic Sis? ha..ive seen one quick one, and it ran 15.5...

Prelude Styl

They may POSSIBLY be good for mid to high 15's but rarely do they ever see them. Noone knows how to drive them, which is why I'm able to beat them all the time. My car is a high 15 sec car btw.... so you can kiss my *** with that one. I've run 15.9's at the track several times and I have the slips to prove it, mind you with 180+,000 miles on it. The Civic Si has potential, but if the driver has no skill, it's not gonna go anywhere. And as for the "basicaly driving a 2900lb civic powered prelude" if you're going to try and insult someone, at least get it ******* right, it's an accord motor *******.

rjr162

my old manager had a nice Si. That sucker was bare though, but still only had bolt ons. It was pretty quick. Oh, and you can't rip on the Si too much, remember, it has the little 1.6 that has the potential to make 1000 hp well before our 2.2's could

roadawg

i feel dumber for reading through this post

sick boy

nickw252

Saying that no one knows how to drive a CIvic Si should reflect on the driver, not the car. I used to have a 2000 Civic Si. Stock it was faster than a 4th gen Prelude Si, and almost as quick as a 4th gen Prelude VTEC. Believe me, I have friends with those cars and have driven them.

Stop trying to be all high and mighty with your prelude S, it is not that special of a car.
