Ok i own a 98 civic ex coupe and my cousin owns a 91 acura integra LS coupe with a B18a,we recently drag raced and i smack that krap out of him, is that supposed to happen? I thought the LS motor has more HP than the D16? can someone clear this up for me please?

 

Your car is lighter, has a better power to weight ratio, better gearing, maybe better driver.

 

Did he double clutch?

 

People think that HP is everything sometimes.

You have a weaker engine yes, but your car is lighter and has much better gearing. Your car is also 7 years younger, better technology and chances are, much less wear and tear on your engine than his.

 

well the obvious answer is you have vtec and he doesn't.

seriously, you probably are the better driver, and the weight difference does weigh the outcome in your favour

 

all in a driver not the motor

 

its not a suprise. My y8 beat 'em all the time. "vtech" god I love that.

 

yea v-tech is really something else lol i know i only have a single cam but v-tech is v-tech nonetheless

 

ok. its not "v-tech" its vtec.

 

What kind of phone do you have if it's non-vtec then?

yes you better get it right if not all types of people are gonna get you for that

and also vtec is not somthing out of this world... but i guess thats a common misconception. its just a simple gas saving feature... but yea its nice

true. but we (Honda builders) figured out how to make power from it.

 

weight difference
different gear ratios
better driver

theres different things that can be factored in to why you won

 

motors are close in hp. Plus your car is lighter. Basically at that point its just really up to driver.... If there was an ls in a civic though it would have beaten you.

 

regardless of why you won,I dont see why you would question it?

is this just a way of you braggin without being obvious?

personally when I beat something I dont expect to beat,i get excited and brag,I dont ask people..hmmm,I WONDER WHY I PULLED ON HIM....

 

okey umm i had both cars tho.First i had a 91 integra and its was aight.And now i have a single v tech hatch.Ill say that they are about even maybe hatch is a little bit slower when v tech is not crackin up but yea they are almost the same tho

 

whats up with you and telephones?

 

Imo he probobly would beat you on the highway or in top end, my old tired *** DA would walk civic ex's all day but usually only from 40 mph and up, and it would leave a hell of a trail of smoke behind it too.

no, the ls has shorter gears and a 4.266 final drive, d16z6's and d16y8's have a 4.25 final drive.

the gear ratios for an LS are nearly identical to the ex tranny.
