Default d15b7...power????

Ok so check this out...i bought a 95 civic DX about 2 weeks ago (first honda) and has the d-b7. well i thought it was going to be REALLY slow b/c of the non-vtec 1.5. and its actually surprised me its kinda quick for what it is. well my friend has a 92 teg with a b18a1 in it...and we gave em a run the other day rolling from about 30 and stayed side by side until 65 and he started pullin on me SLOWLY. I also had 2 ppl (including me) in the car...and it was just him n his. (both manuals) so am i right on the "kinna quick" or maybe just an A1 that needs a tune up??? cause i figured he would leave me!!

Well depends on who you ask. I know a guy that think's his (low)12 second daily driven Mustang is slow, and I know a guy that thinks his absolutely bone stock 94 Civic EX is the fastest car ever. But honestly... no, the B18A1 isn't "great" either...but it's sort of a good start.

the integra is somewhat heavier. it also sounds like he's not that great of a driver because he should have spanked you, or at least beat you better than he did.

it's not a bench race
he's talking about a race that already happened in real life, and he's wondering why he did as well as he did.

thanks destruction...u always post something that is the most helpful. but anyways for (white civic) no i dont really think its fast at all..its slow and i really dont care to say it. (what i was saying was its kinna quick for a non-v and a 1.5... i had a 91 supra with mild bolt ons running 10 LBS. and i thought it was slow after awhile. i had to get rid of it and get this civic b/c i got in alot of trouble and had to get a lawyer and deal with the justice system and the only thing i had left over was about 1400$$ AND just like destruction said i was just wondering why i did so good against a B18A1.
