Hey whats up, So I gotta Friend that has a brand new 2007 Honda civic Si and he wants to race me for $100. I would usually just say ya against a stock civic but I know the Si's are pretty quick and I know that its light as hell also. So Im kinda delaying the race untill I hear from you guys. So Let me know if i have a chance on this one. Ive posted this thread in Acurazine and on Honda-Tech so i dont get biased opinons.

all TL's are SOHC no matter what year they are

 

the si's are light compared to my 3885lb tl you guys have 1200 less lbs than us.

 

yea go ahead and race him, you will walk him by 10+ cars. go! why are you still here!?!? DO IT.

bet the pink slip to your car on top of it.

 

Race him on pinks tokyo drift style as someone mentioned.

 

If you have the money to waste, go ahead...

All TLs arent SOHC, the type-S is DOHC right?

Nope ALL TLs are SOHC.. including the type-s

He'll be low 15's, high 14's at best. I'm pretty sure you're low 15's if you try hard enough. The big problem is your gearing- auto trannies for the *****-****** LOSE. My mom's TL does nicely for itself, but i've never raced the damned thing.

How much do your 19's weigh? that could be a problem too.

 

You could always pray he misses a shift! How well does he drive?

only nice thing about an automatic... no missed shifts or grinding gears.. lol

 

So whats so better about the sohc than the dohc.

I actually think SOHCs are worse than DOHCs. I drove both a SOHC and DOHC 2.3 motor. The ability for the exhaust cam and intake cam to be fine tuned (and offer variable valve timing on both) allows it to make more power throughout the powerband. With a SOHC, you have the same cam running both intake and exhaust valves, which limits its effectiveness compared to a good DOHC motor.

 

Better watch out racing for pinks man, I bet he has more then 100 grand under that hood.
